Sec. 74.5 Withdrawal of articles from exhibition for exportation, abandonment, destruction, or for consumption or entry under the general tariff law; involuntary abandonment.-(a) Any articles entered under the regulations of this Part may be withdrawn for exportation, for abandonment to the Government, for destruction under customs supervision, or for consumption or entry under the general tariff law, but not otherwise, at any time prior to the opening of the exposition or at any time during or within three months after the close of the exposition. Upon the withdrawal of such articles for consumption or for entry under the general tariff law, or at the expiration of three months after the close of the exposition in the case of articles not previously so withdrawn, they shall be appraised with due allowance made for diminution or deterioration from incidental handling or exposure. Such appraisal shall be final in the absence of an appeal to reappraisement, as provided in section 501 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U. S. C. 1501). In the case of such articles withdrawn for entry under the general tariff law under a warehouse bond or a bond conditioned upon exportation, the statutory period of the bond and any extension thereof shall be computed from the date of withdrawal from entry under the provisions of Public Law No. 513 of the 84th Congress.

(b) At any time prior to the opening of the exposition, or at any time during or within three months after the close of the exposition, any article entered hereunder may be abandoned to the Government or destroyed under customs supervision, as provided in section 15.4 of the Customs Regulations.

(c) Any articles entered under the regulations in this Part which have not been withdrawn for consumption, entry under the general tariff law, or exportation, or which have not been abandoned to the Government or destroyed under customs supervision, before the

expiration of three months after the close of the exposition, shall be regarded as abandoned to the Government.
