Nolls

Soft (including all wastes, except noils, burr wastes, card strippings, and sweepings, produced after the scouring of the wool or hair and before the spinning operation). Hard (including all wastes, except sweepings, produced in and after the spinning operation but before completion of the weaving operation or, in the case of the manufacture of articles enumerated in item 306.00, Tariff Schedules of the United States, which are not woven, before the completion of the enumerated article). Fly (including all wastes other than noils and hard and soft wastes as above specified). White soft wastes and white threads shall be accounted for separately.

(b) When the manufacturer of any enumerated articles spins the yarns used in the manufacture thereof, he shall also keep records showing the quantity and description of all the yarns so spun.

(c) Within 30 days from the end of each calendar quarter the manufacturer or processor, liable under a bond for wool or hair, shall submit to the collector of customs where his original bond has been filed an abstract of his records on customs Form 7531-B. The abstract shall be supported by copies of the processor's returns (showing the processing losses and net returns) for any bonded wool or hair processed outside the plant of the manufacturer or processor submitting such abstract. When a bonded manufacturer or processor has not manufactured or processed any bonded wool or hair during the 3months period he shall promptly so advise the collector of customs.

(e) In the case of preliminary processors, such as pullers, sorters, washers, scourers, or carbonizers, a transfer certificate, on customs Form 7531-A, revised, covering wool or hair processed and transferred by any one of them, shall be submitted to the collector of customs as an abstract of his records of manufacture, when such processor has received custody (not ownership) of the wool or hair from a transferor who has been relieved by the collector of liability under bond for the use of the wool or hair in accordance with § 10.95(d).

Such records shall also show the date of delivery from the premises and the name and address of the transferee, purchaser, consignee, or other person to whom delivery is made. The records shall show also the exact designation under which any wool or hair was transferred, sold, consigned, or otherwise delivered and the price paid or agreed to be paid, or if there has been no sale or contract of sale, the price that the manufacturer, processor, or dealer would have received or was willing to receive for the wool or hair if sold in the

The declaration shall show the particulars as to price specified in paragraph (a) of this section, whether representative samples have been retained, whether the merchandise resulted in the usual course of manufacture of enumerated articles, and whether such merchandise could have been used (with or without further preparation) in the manufacture of enumerted articles.

(c) The manufacturer, processor, or dealer shall retain for customs inspection a representative sample of not less than one pound of each kind of merchandise for which a report is required by § 10.96 (a) or (b). Such sample shall be properly identified in his records with the report covering such merchandise and shall be available for inspection by proper officers of the Government at all reasonable times for a period of 3 months after its delivery.

When the transfer is made by a manufacturer or processor, it shall be filed within the quarterly period allowed for the filing of the abstract on which the transfer is required to be reported. When the original bonds of both the transferor and the transferee are on file in the office of one collector of customs, the transfer certificate shall be filed with that officer in duplicate. When the original bond of the transferee is on file in another customs district, the transfer certificate shall be filed in triplicate. The transferor shall not be relieved from liability under his bond until the transferred wool or hair has been charged against the bond of the transferee.

(e) The establishments of bonded manufacturers, processors, and dealers, and the originals of all books and records kept by such manufacturers, processors, and dealers relating to bonded wool or hair shall be available at all reasonable times for inspection by proper officers of the Government.

(f) All records required to be kept by manufacturers, processors, and dealers relating to bonded wool or hair shall be retained for a period of 3 years after the imported wool or hair has been used in the manufacture of the articles enumerated in item 306.00, Tariff Schedules of the United States. Where the wool or hair has been charged against the bond of a transferee, the records of the transferor shall be retained for a period of 3 years from the date of transfer.
