October 2022 — Question 68
Where in the regulations would you go to make a copy of the (a)(1)(A) list?
- A19 CFR 24.3
- B19 CFR 101.2
- C19 CFR 111.23
- D19 CFR, Appendix to Part 163✓ CBP's answer
- E19 CFR, Appendix C to Part 171
Why this answer
The (a)(1)(A) list is the inventory of records required in connection with the entry of merchandise under 19 U.S.C. 1509(a)(1)(A), and CBP publishes it as the Appendix to Part 163, so a copy comes from that appendix. Part 163's body sets out who must keep records and for how long, but the list itself appears only in the appendix, organized by regulatory citation. Section 111.23 is the tempting distractor because it also concerns records, yet it merely fixes brokers' retention obligations without reproducing the list, and Appendix C to Part 171 contains penalty mitigation guidelines, not entry records. Watch for: Choosing 111.23 because broker recordkeeping sounds like where the records list would live.
