C. To Collectors of Customs and Others Concerned: TITLE 19-CUSTOMS DUTIES CHAPTER I-BUREAU OF CUSTOMS PART 16-LIQUIDATION OF DUTIES Section 520 (c) (1), Tariff Act of 1930, which authorized the reliquidation of an entry in the absence of protest to correct only clerical errors, was broadened in scope in its amendment by the Customs Simplification Act of 1953. The present law authorizes the correction of a clerical error, mistake of fact, or other inadvertence not amounting to an error in the construction of a law, adverse to the importer and manifest from the record or established by documentary evidence, in any entry, liquidation, appraisement, or other customs transaction. In order to clarify the authority delegated to collectors to act under section 520 (c) (1), as amended, without specific authority from the Bureau, and particularly to point out that the only corrections of errors resulting from incorrect reports of appraisement which they can make are, in defined circumstances, to exclude uniformly nondutiable charges from dutiable value and to correct the dutiable value when the appraiser has inadvertently failed to indicate that the unit value reported is for some unit of quantity larger than one (as "per doz." etc.), section 16.13 of the Customs Regulations is hereby amended to read as follows: 16.13 Errors, mistakes, and inadvertencies, correction of.-(a) Except with respect to appraisement, any adjustment of, or change in, the entry papers authorized by section 520 (c) (1), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, may be made by the collector in (1) the liquidation of the entry, (2) a voluntary reliquidation completed within 60 days after liquidation, or (3) a reliquidation made pursuant to a protest covering the particular merchandise with respect to which such adjustment or change is in order. (b) Under the circumstances specified in paragraph (a) above, uniformly nondutiable charges included in an appraisement may be excluded. Also, under the same circumstances, any error in the statement of unit of quantity in an appraisement report which is adverse to the importer may be corrected, provided advice in writing is received from the appraiser that at the time of appraisement he intended to appraise and thought he was appraising at a value for the specified correct unit of quantity. (c) Any change in any liquidation or appraisement not authorized by subsection (a) or (b) may be made pursuant to section 520 (c) (1), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, only upon authority from the Bureau.
