[62 FR 45101, Aug. 25, 1997, as amended at 68 FR 53641, Sept. 11, 2003] Any action which the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to take pursuant to the Trading With the Enemy Act may be taken by any person to whom the Secretary of the Treasury has delegated authority so to act. [15 FR 9040, Dec. 19, 1950. Redesignated at 62 FR 45101, Aug. 25, 1997] (a) With respect to merchandise specified in §500.204, whether or not such merchandise has been imported into the United States, directors of customs shall not accept or allow any: (1) Entry for consumption (including any appraisement entry, any entry of goods imported in the mails, regardless of value, or any other informal entries); (2) Entry for immediate exportation; (3) Entry for transportation and exportation; (4) Withdrawal from warehouse; (5) Transfer or withdrawal from a foreign-trade zone; or (6) Manipulation or manufacture in a warehouse or in a foreign-trade zone, until either; (i) A specific license pursuant to this chapter is presented; or, (ii) Instructions from the Foreign Assets Control, authorizing the transaction are received. (b) Whenever a specific license is presented to a director of customs in accordance with this section, one additional legible copy of the entry, withdrawal or other appropriate document with respect to the merchandise involved shall be filed with the director of customs at the port where the transaction is to take place. Each copy of any such entry, withdrawal or other appropriate document, including the additional copy, shall bear plainly on its face the number of the license pursuant to which it is filed. The original copy of the specific license shall be presented to the director in respect to each such transaction and shall bear a notation in ink by the licensee or person presenting the license showing the description, quantity, and value of the merchandise to be entered, withdrawn or otherwise dealt with. This notation should be so placed and so written that there will exist no possibility of confusing it with anything placed on the license at the time of its issuance. If the license in fact authorizes the entry, withdrawal or other transaction with regard to the merchandise, the director, or other authorized customs employee, shall verify the notation by signing or initialing it after first assuring himself that it accurately describes the merchandise it purports to represent. The license shall thereafter be returned to the person presenting it and the additional copy of the entry, withdrawal or other appropriate document shall be forwarded by the director to the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury Department, Washington, DC 20220. (c) Whenever a person shall present an entry, withdrawal or other appropriate document affected by this section and shall assert that no specific Foreign Assets Control license is required in connection therewith, the director of customs shall withhold action thereon and shall advise such person to communicate directly with the Office of Foreign Assets Control to request that instructions be issued to the director to authorize him to take action with regard thereto.
