    As part of our import controls, we require a manufacturer’s declaration for imported products before we will claim 9801.00.10 for U.S. Good Returned, in addition to the Foreign Shippers Dec and creating an importers declaration.

    1. Is everyone’s understanding of the Importer Endorsement for 9801 shipments is that the endorsement must be signed by an officer of a company or by an employee with power of attorney?
