If the conditions of the bond are breached — for example, if the article is sold, transferred, or withdrawn from public display — the bond is forfeited and ordinary import duties become due. CBP monitors compliance, and the importer of record is liable for any duties and penalties.

Heading 9812 applies to articles intended for permanent exhibition in the US, with the duty exemption conditioned on continued public display rather than re-exportation. The two provisions serve different purposes and have different bond conditions.
