A traveler imports a good for personal use, not for sale or a commercial use. Is a certification copy required?
- Yes, in every case, regardless of value or purpose
- Not unless CBP finds the importation is part of a series planned to evade the certification requirement
- Yes, because personal importations are commercial
- No claim is allowed on a non-commercial importation
Show the answer
B. Not unless CBP finds the importation is part of a series planned to evade the certification requirement
A non-commercial importation does not require submission of a certification copy, subject to the evasion exception. Commercial importation means importation for sale or for a commercial, industrial, or other like use.
