A CBP Form 4647 is a Notice to Mark and/or Redeliver. CBP sends it when your imported goods aren't marked with their country of origin the way the law requires. It asks for the goods to be marked, brought back to CBP, or both. CBP also uses it to call back released goods that can't enter for another reason, like an FDA refusal.

| What | Deadline or result |
|---|---|
| Released goods marked, or brought back to CBP | Within 30 days of the notice, or longer if CBP allows |
| Goods not marked or brought back in time | Liquidated damages equal to their entered value |
| Unmarked goods exported or destroyed under CBP supervision | Before the entry liquidates, or a 10% marking duty is owed |
| A protest of a redelivery demand | Within 180 days of the written notice (entries made on or after Dec. 18, 2004) |

Two jobs. It can require the goods to be properly marked with their country of origin. And it can require redelivery, which means bringing the goods back into CBP custody. The form names the law or rule at issue and where the goods have to go.
For goods already released, 30 days from the date of the notice, or longer if CBP allows it for good cause. If the goods aren't marked or returned by then, CBP demands liquidated damages under the importer's bond, equal to the entered value of those goods.
Say released goods entered at $10,000 are still unmarked 30 days after the notice. The demand on the bond is $10,000. A redelivery demand for another reason has its own amount, up to three times the goods' value for restricted or prohibited goods, alcohol, or FDA-refused products.
One of three ways: the goods are properly marked, or they're exported or destroyed under CBP supervision. CBP watches the marking, at the importer's cost, unless it accepts a certificate of marking backed by a sample of the marked goods.
Goods left unmarked also owe an extra duty of 10 percent of their appraised value. That's avoided only if they're exported or destroyed under CBP supervision before the entry liquidates (becomes final).
Yes. A demand for redelivery can be protested. For an entry made on or after December 18, 2004, the window is 180 days from the date of the written notice. The 90 days in older CBP guidance is only for entries made before that date. Once the window closes, so does the usual way to challenge the notice.
Relief from liquidated damages is a separate route: a written petition to CBP's Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures Officer.
It goes to the importer of record: in the ACE Portal if the importer's account is set to get CBP forms there, and by U.S. mail if not. A customs broker can get an electronic courtesy copy.
Marking and redelivery are entry matters, so the importer and their broker handle them. After an FDA refusal, they also arrange the export or destruction of the goods with the local FDA office and the cargo office at the CBP port.
