subpart d - EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FILING OF SHIPPER'S EXPORT DECLARATIONS

30.57 - Information on export declarations for shipments of types of goods covered by 30.56 not conditionally exempt.

  (a) In those cases where Shipper's Export Declarations are required for articles enumerated in 30.56 (a) through (d) only by virtue of their being shipped under a bill of lading or an air waybill (no validated license is required) the export declaration should clearly show in the column for commodity description, in lieu of the complete commodity description a statement that the shipment consists of baggage, personal effects, household effects, ship's stores, crew's effects, or as appropriate. In such cases, Schedule B commodity numbers should not be shown on the declarations.

  (b) In those cases where the articles enumerated in 30.56 (a) through (d) require a validated export license (whether or not shipped under a bill of lading or an air waybill) the Shipper's Export Declaration must identify the shipment as baggage, personal effects, etc., and must contain all the information normally required for any exportation made under a validated export license, i.e., complete commodity description, license number, Schedule B number, quantity, value, etc.
