U.S. Customs and Border Protection

                       CBP Dec. 18-12
   TECHNICAL   CORRECTIONS TO THE VESSEL REPAIR
                   UNIT  REGULATIONS

AGENCY:   U.S. Customs and  Border Protection, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION:   Final rule; technical amendment.
SUMMARY: This   document amends  the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) regulations to update provisions relating to the
declaration, entry and dutiable status of repair expenditures made
abroad for certain vessels to reflect the port of New Orleans, Louisi-
ana as the only Vessel Repair Unit (VRU) location. The amendment
will improve the efficiency of vessel repair entry processing, ensure
the proper assessment and collection of duties, and make the regu-
lations more transparent.
DATES:  The final rule is effective November 29, 2018.

Branch    Chief,  Cargo   and    Conveyance   Security,  at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                       Background
  Under section 466, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1466),
purchases for or repairs made to certain vessels while they are out-
side the United States are subject to declaration, entry and payment
of ad valorem duty. These requirements are effective upon the first
arrival of the affected vessel in any port of the United States. The
vessels subject to these requirements include those documented un-
der U.S. law for the foreign or coastwise trades, as well as those which
were previously documented under the laws of some foreign nation or
are undocumented at the time that the foreign shipyard repairs are
performed, but which exhibit an intent to engage in those trades.
