CBP's answer: C. C: Port Director of the destination or port of exportation

The in-transit time can be extended by CBP on a written request to the port director of the port of destination or port of exportation, and the decision is in CBP's discretion. That is C, not the origin port, the carrier or the importer.

The in-transit requirement may be extended by CBP upon a written request to the port director of the port of destination or port of exportation. 19 CFR 18.1(i)(2)
