Preface This book contains the rules and regulations constituting Title 19, revised as of December 31, 1953. It replaces the volume published in 1949 entitled Title 19-Customs Duties, and becomes an integral part of the Code of Federal Regulations. In consolidating the material contained in the 1949 volume with subsequent changes and additions, there have been included all rules and regulations, general and permanent in nature, duly published in the Federal Register on or before December 31, 1953, and effective as to facts arising on or after January 1, 1954. This book is provided with a pocket for the insertion of annual cumulative supplements. Current regulatory material appearing in the daily issues of the Federal Register follows the numbering system used herein and serves as a daily supplement hereto. The book contains a subject index. It also contains a list of sections affected since the publication of the 1949 volume. This list furnishes Federal Register citations to all changes in the material since January 1, 1949, including changes which are no longer in effect. This book is published pursuant to Part 2 of the regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, approved by the President October 11, 1948 (13 F. R. 5935; 1 CFR Part 2), under the authority contained in section 11 (f) of the Federal Register Act as amended (67 Stat. 388; 44 U. S. C. 311 (f)). The contents of the Federal Register and of the Code of Federal Regulations are by law prima facie evidence of the text of the original documents and are required to be judicially noticed (49 Stat. 502, 50 Stat. 304; 44 U. S. C. 307, 311 (e)). The approved citation of the Code is "CFR.' Thus the citation "19 CFR 1.1" refers to Section 1.1 of this Title. A General Preface to the Code of Federal Regulations appears in the volume containing Titles 1-3 and also in the General Index volume. B. R. KENNEDY April 15, 1954.
