§ 30.12 - Time and place Shipper's Export Declarations required to be presented.

For shipments by mail, the Shipper's Export Declaration as required in § 30.1 shall be presented to the postmaster with the packages at the time of mailing. For shipments other than by mail, except as otherwise provided, the Shipper's Export Declaration in the number of copies required by § 30.5 shall be delivered to the exporting carrier prior to exportation. It is the duty of the exporter (or his agent) to deliver the required number of copies of the Shipper's Export Declaration to the exporting carrier prior to exportation; failure of the exporter (or his agent) to do so constitutes a violation of the provisions of these regulations, and renders such exporter (or his agent) subject to the penalties provided for in § 30.95. For shipments by pipeline, the Shipper's Export Declaration is not required to be presented prior to exportation, and exportation will be permitted upon the understanding that the exporter or his agent, within 4 working days after the end of each calendar month, will file with the Customs Director having jurisdiction for the pipeline, a Shipper's Export Declaration in the number of copies specified in § 30.5 to cover exports to each consignee during the calendar month.
