18. Vehicle clearance procedures are different depending on the load port. Is there any plan to standardize this across all load ports? What commodity are exempt? Depending on which Inspector you speak with you get conflicting answers. Does a vehicle without a title, shipping manufacturer to dealer or dealer to dealer, need to present a certificate of origin to customers within the same rules that apply for titles. Or can we ship the unit and present the document when asked, i.e. I know we have to have it but do we absolutely need to submit a certificate of origin for stamping? Questions

19. Customs appears to have interpreted the 72 hr rule as they can keep the title for 72 hrs regardless of when it was submitted. Is this a valid interpretation? If a vehicle is to be sent overseas and there is a lien on the vehicle does the copy of the title need to be notarized? We realize that part of the paper work submitted to customs should be a notarized letter from a bank stating their permission to take the vehicle out of the country, and if they are in the military a copy of the orders. Does the copy of the title need to be notarized? Questions

20. Can more than one vehicle be on the dock receipt? If more than one unit is on the dock receipt can the one the title pertaining to be highlighted? Please explain the following: Manufacturer to Manufacturer - we do not need a bill of sale or title, correct? Manufacturer to any company or person - does this need a bill of sale or title? If CBP does not return titles cleared or rejected after they have had them for a min. 72 hrs prior to the vessel commencing loading can the cargo be loaded? Questions
