CBP's answer: B. B: An extract from a bill of lading or air waybill that has not been certified to be genuine by the carrier bringing the merchandise to the port of entry.

CBP keyed B as the exception. An extract from a bill of lading or air waybill is acceptable evidence only when it is certified to be genuine by the carrier that brought the goods, so an uncertified extract is not acceptable. The endorsed bill of lading, certified duplicate and in-person shipping receipt options are all listed in 141.11(a).

An extract from a bill of lading or air waybill certified to be genuine by the carrier bringing the merchandise to the port of entry. 19 CFR 141.11(a)(2)
