§ 1220.32 - Result of examination; form of report.

(a) The examination and report upon such samples shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the Tea Importation Act (29 Stat. 606; 21 U.S.C. 46), and the result of this examination shall be noted on the invoice by the tea examiner before he returns the invoice to the collector of customs. The tea examiner at the same time should make his returns on the original copy of the chop list and release permit (T. I. S. Cat. No. 1), which, after being duly signed by him, should be forwarded by him to the importer or consignee.

(b) In case the tea coverings are dutiable and appraised at a value or rate higher than the entered value or rate, the tea examiner shall follow the same procedure as above, except that the chop list and release permit shall be returned to the District Director of Customs for such action as he sees fit to take.

(c) In case a partial release is desired the importer shall furnish an additional chop list and release permit (T. I. S. Cat. No. 1) of the goods that he desires, the original chop list and release permit being retained by the tea examiner until action on all the teas in the entry has been taken.
