    Abstract: This collection of information is required to ensure

primarily for recreation or pleasure, and had been previously sold by a 
manufacturer or dealer to a retail customer, may be imported without 
the payment of duty if the importer of record certifies that the large 
yacht is imported for sale at a boat show in the United States and 
posts a bond. The statute, inter alia, provides for the deferral of 
payment of duty until the yacht is sold but specifies that the duty 
deferral period may not exceed 6 months. This collection of information 
is provided for by 19 CFR 4.94a, which requires the submission of 
information to CBP such as the name and address of the owner of the 
yacht, the dates of cruising in the waters of the United States, 
information about the yacht, and the ports of arrival and departure.
