## Text

The following conditions govern the time and place to present the proof of filing, postdeparture, or downtime citations or exclusion or exemption legends. The USPPI or the authorized agent is required to deliver the proof of filing, postdeparture, or downtime citations or exclusion or exemption legends required in § 30.7 to the exporting carrier. See appendix B of this part for the properly formatted proof of filing, postdeparture, or downtime citations and exclusion or exemption legends. Failure of the USPPI or authorized agent to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of the regulations in this part and renders such principal party or the authorized agent subject to the penalties provided for in Subpart H of this part.

The proof of filing citation, postdeparture filing citation, AES downtime filing citation, exemption and/or exclusion legend for items exported by mail as required in § 30.4(b) shall be annotated on the appropriate U.S. Postal Service customs declaration form (and/or its electronic equivalent) and presented with the packages at the time of mailing. The Postal Service is required to deliver the proof of filing citation, postdeparture filing citation, AES downtime filing citation, exemption or exclusion legend prior to export.
(b) Pipeline exports. The proof of filing citations or exemption and exclusion legends for items being sent by pipeline shall be presented to the operator of a pipeline no later than four calendar days after the close of the month. See § 30.4(c)(2) for requirements for the filing of export information by pipeline carriers.
