    Title: Exportation of Used-Propelled Vehicles.
    OMB Number: 1651-0054.
    Abstract: CBP regulations require an individual attempting to 
export a used self-propelled vehicle to furnish documentation to CBP, 
at the port of export, the vehicle and documentation describing the 
vehicle, which includes the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or, if 
the vehicle does not have a VIN, the product identification number. 
Exportation of a vehicle will be permitted only upon compliance with 
these requirements. This requirement does not apply to vehicles that 
were entered into the United States under an in-bond procedure, a 
carnet, or temporary importation bond. The required documentation 
includes, but is not limited to, a Certificate of Title or a Salvage 
Title, the VIN, a Manufacture's Statement of Origin, etc. CBP will 
accept originals or certified copies of Certificate of Title. The 
purpose of this information is to help ensure that stolen vehicles or 
vehicles associated with other criminal activity are not exported.
    Collection of this information is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1627a 
which

all used self-propelled vehicles, and by title IV, section 401 of the 
Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992, 19 U.S.C. 1646(c), which requires all 
persons exporting a used self-propelled vehicle to provide to the CBP, 
at least 72 hours prior to export, the VIN and proof of ownership of 
each automobile. This information collection is provided for by 19 CFR 
part 192. Further guidance regarding these requirements is provided at:

information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the 
information collected.
