CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORTATION
OF AUTOMOBILES PURCHASED ABROAD
Under Public Law 126, Government employees or military per-
sonnel returning homey under permanent-change^of-station orders,
may be allowed free entry of their automobiles, provided they
have served overseas for at least 140 days of continuous duty
assignment.
An automobile purchased abroad and sentblome before Govern-
ment orders are issued/ or a car purchased end not in the em-
ployeeh possession will not be entitled to free entry under
Public Law 126.
The word "possession", as used by Bureau of Customs, -9isotxlc
'?`-t J c means either Physical possession or a right to im-
mediate possession at the point of purchase. This would usually
mean the presence of the automobile i the showroom or warehouse
of the seller within the city w"' purchase was made, so
that the buyer could take possession if he so desired, rather
than having the dealer ship the automobile.
Several &- ordering automobiles from points
in the Far East for shipment from Europe, have been required
to pay import duty on the automobiles. This duty was assessed
because the employee did not have possession of the automobile
nor the right to immediate possession at the place of purchase.
