Shipper's Export Declarations are not required for the following types of shipments to the U.S. armed services: (a) All commodities, whether shipped commercially or through government channels, consigned to the U.S. armed services for their exclusive use, including shipments to armed services exchange systems. (This exemption does not apply to shipments which are for the ultimate use of the U.S. armed services but which are not consigned to the U.S. armed services. However, special exceptions to the requirements of these regulations which may in some circumstances apply to shipments for the ultimate use of the U.S. armed services but not so consigned are provided in §30.37.) (b) Department of Defense Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments being transported as Department of Defense cargo under the provisions of CBP Circular Letters VES–5–MA, March 8, 1954, (MC 133), VES–5–MA, June 17, 1954 (MC 133 S.1), VES–5–MA, May 24, 1956 (MC 133 S.2) and RES–20–MC, January 25, 1960 (CC 76). Under arrangements with the Department of Defense, information on these shipments for inclusion in U.S. export statistics will be furnished directly to the Bureau of the Census by the Department of Defense. This exception from the filing of Shipper's Export Declarations does not apply to Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments to which a foreign government has taken title before exportation or to any Grant-Aid Military-Aid Program shipment moving in any manner other than as Department of Defense cargo. (See §30.37 for possible exceptions to the full reporting requirements of §30.7 for certain military sales shipments not exempt from the requirement for the Shipper's Export Declaration.)
