Subpart C--Admission of Merchandise to a Zone

Sec. 146.31  Admissibility of merchandise into a zone.

    Merchandise of every description may be admitted into a zone unless 
prohibited by law. A distinction is made between prohibited and 
conditionally admissible merchandise.
    (a) Prohibited merchandise. Port directors shall not admit 
prohibited merchandise. If there is a question as to whether the 
merchandise may be prohibited, port directors may permit the temporary 
deposit of the merchandise in a zone pending a final determination of 
its status. Any prohibited merchandise which is found within a zone will 
be disposed of in the manner provided for in the laws and regulations 
applicable to that merchandise.
    (b) Conditionally admissible merchandise. The admission of this 
merchandise into a zone is subject to the regulations of the Federal 
agency concerned.
