## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Intellectual Property — Patents, Trade Marks, Copyright, Designs](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the mark, any registration number printed in the file, the owner's place of organization if the file states it, and whether a certificate of registration is in the file. Write no filing. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether to lodge the notice. 19 U.S.C. § 1526(a), except as subsection (d) provides, makes it unlawful to import into the United States any merchandise of foreign manufacture if the merchandise, or the label, sign, print, package, wrapper, or receptacle, bears a trademark owned by a citizen of the United States, or by a corporation or association created or organized in the United States, and registered in the Patent and Trademark Office by a person domiciled in the United States, under the provisions of sections 81 to 109 of title 15, and if a copy of the certificate of registration is filed with the Secretary of the Treasury in the manner provided in section 106 of title 15, unless written consent of the owner is produced at the time of making entry. Those title 15 cross-references are the statute's own words. Do not replace them with a section you have not opened. The recordation practice, including any form and any fee, is not stated in § 1526(a). Confirm the current Treasury rule before a notice is lodged. 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1)(a) is a civil action for use of a registered mark. It is not this recordation. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the mark, any registration number printed in the file, the owner's place of organization if the file states it, and whether a certificate of registration is in the file. Write no filing.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Subsection (d)(1) exempts articles accompanying a person arriving in the United States when they are for personal use and not for sale, within types and quantities the Secretary determines, and grants no exemption under that subsection within the thirty days immediately preceding arrival. You decide whether it applies.
- This is a federal import statute. It is not a state-court seizure procedure. The snapshot task is a lodging. The check is not finished by listing the facts in the file.
