46030 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 153 / Thursday, August 7, 2008 / Notices 

Containers Subject to the 6 U.S.C. 944 

Sealing Requirement 

All loaded containers, including 

foreign cargo remaining on board 

(FROB), arriving by vessel at a port of 

entry in the United States on or after 

October 15, 2008, are required to be 

sealed with a seal meeting the ISO/PAS 

17712 standard. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) recognizes that there are types of 

containers that cannot be readily 

secured by use of a container freight seal 

meeting the ISO/PAS 17712 standard. 

These include tanks, non-standard 

containers (such as open top 

containers), or containers that simply 

cannot accommodate a seal meeting the 

ISO/PAS 17712 standard (such as 

custom built containers). These types of 

containers are not subject to the 

statutory requirement. 

Enforcement of the 6 U.S.C. 944 Sealing 

Requirement 

CBP will consider 6 U.S.C. 944 to be 

violated if a loaded container that is 

subject to the sealing requirements 

arrives by vessel at a port of entry in the 

United States on or after October 15, 

2008, either (i) with no seal or (ii) with 

a seal that does not meet the ISO/PAS 

17712 standard. These violations derive 

from a failure to properly seal the 

container. 

CBP may assess a civil penalty against 

the party responsible for the violation of 

6 U.S.C. 944 under 19 U.S.C. 1595a(b) 

for the attempted introduction of 

merchandise into the United States 

contrary to law. 

CBP will phase in penalty 

assessments for violation of the 

container sealing requirements. 

Trade Act Requirements 

CBP also takes this opportunity to 

remind vessel carriers that pursuant to 

19 CFR 4.7(b)(2) and 4.7a(c)(4)(xiv), they 

must transmit all seal numbers to CBP 

24 hours before cargo is laden aboard a 

vessel at a foreign port via the Vessel 

Automated Manifest System (AMS).
