Section 30.41

§ 30.41 ``Split shipments'' by air.

When a shipment by air covered by a single Shipper's Export Declaration is divided by the exporting transportation company at the port where the declaration is filed, and part of the shipment is exported on one aircraft and part on another aircraft of the same transportation company, the following procedure shall apply:

(a) The carrier will deliver the manifest copy of the declaration to the District Director of Customs with the manifest covering the flight on which the first part of the split shipment is exported, and will make no changes on the declaration. However, the manifest will show in the ``number of packages'' column the actual portion of the declared total quantity being carried and will carry a notation to indicate ``Split Shipment.''

(b) On each subsequent manifest covering a flight on which any part of a split shipment is exported, a prominent notation ``SPLIT SHIPMENT'' will be made adjacent to the item on the manifest for ready identification. For the last shipment the notation will read ``SPLIT SHIPMENT, FINAL.''

Each subsequent manifest covering a part of a split shipment shall also show in the ``number of packages'' column only the merchandise carried on that particular flight and a reference to the total amount originally declared for export, e.g., 5 of 11, or 5/11; and immediately following the line showing the portion of the split shipment carried on that flight, a notation will be made showing the air waybill number shown on the original Shipper's Export Declaration and the portions of the originally declared total carried on each previous flight together with the number and date of each such previous flight, e.g., original Shipper's Export Declaration AWB 123; 2 of 11 flight 36A, June 6; 4 of 11, flight 40X, June 10.

(c) Export declarations will not be required for these subsequent shipments.
