A foreign cargo of RFG is to be imported into several terminals. Can the cargo be certified before discharge at the first U.S. port of entry and that certification used for all subsequent ports of entry, or must it be tested and certified separately at each U.S. port of entry?
Certification of every batch of imported RFG must occur separately for Customs purposes at each U.S. port of entry. For example, if a vessel goes first to New York to discharge half its cargo, then proceeds on to Philadelphia to discharge the rest, each half is a separate batch, and each batch is separately imported at each port. Each batch therefore would also be separately tested, certified, and reported as RFG. (7/1/94)
