If split entry is permitted, a TIB requested for the sample box is entry type 23, separate from the Activity 08 continuous bond
Under the October 2022 practical-exercise facts (72 boxes of gowns in one ocean container, one conveyance, one consignee: 71 boxes of ordered merchandise on a commercial invoice and 1 box of sample gown models on a pro forma invoice with no sale), and taking as given the question's stated assumption that the broker is permitted to file more than one entry and that the importer has requested a temporary importation under bond (TIB) for the samples, identify the TIB entry as entry type 23, as stated in BRPD 10.50 (March 2021) Chapter 6. Distinguish the entry type code (23) from the importer's existing continuous bond, which carries activity code 08: they are different kinds of code and the bond does not determine the entry type. Recognize the boundaries: the entry type does not by itself establish TIB eligibility (CBP reviews supporting documents to determine eligibility) and does not grant permission to split a shipment; the split is conditional on the question's assumption, not an arbitrary importer choice. A TIB is not imported for sale or sale on approval, is entered without payment of duty under bond, and must be exported or destroyed within the applicable period (not to exceed three years from importation) under the applicable conditions; it is not an automatic exemption for every sample. Classification of the gowns (a separate question) is not taught here.
