documents by instead requiring, among other things, the marking of the 
containers or holders to indicate the HTSUS numbers that provide for

    For U.S. manufactured serially numbered holders or containers which 
may be released without entry or the payment of duty under 9801.00.10 
HTSUS, 19 CFR 10.41b requires the owner to place the following markings 
on the holder or container: 9801.00.10, HTSUS (unless the holder or 
container has a permanently attached metal tag or plate showing, among 
other things, the name and address of the U.S. manufacturer); the name 
of the owner; and the serial number assigned by the owner. For serially 
numbered holders or containers of foreign manufacture for which may be 
released without entry or payment of duty under 9803.00.50 HTSUS, 19 
CFR 10.41b requires the owner to place markings containing the 
following information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS; the district and port code 
numbers of the port of entry; the entry number; the last two digits of 
the fiscal year of entry covering the importation of the holders and 
containers on which duty was paid; the name of the owner; and the
