TURBOFAC Commentary (78 words)

Notes:

1) It is likely that the applicant was not aware that certain sculptures qualified as "informational materials" exempt from license requirements under the ITR/ITSR, or perhaps the applicant was aware, but wanted confirmation from OFAC.

Heading 9703 covers "[o]riginal sculptures and statuary, in any material."

Compare United States v. Three Burmese Statues, (3:07-cv-00250) W.D.N.C. June 24, 2008 (government seizing and forfeiting statues classified under heading 9703 that should have qualified as licensed "informational materials").
