the entry of articles entered under subheadings 9802.00.40 and

repairs or alterations performed abroad and not on the full value of 
the article. The declaration under 19 CFR 10.8 includes information, 
such as (1) a description of the article and the repairs or 
alterations, (2) the value of the article and the repairs or 
alterations, and (3) a declaration by the owner, importer, consignee, 
or agent having knowledge of the pertinent facts. The information in 
this declaration is used by CBP to determine the value of the repairs 
or alterations, and to assess duty only on the value of those repairs 
or alterations.
    These requirements apply to the trade community who are required by 
law to provide this declaration.
