When members of a family residing in one household travel together on their return to the United States, the flat rate of duty allowance will be grouped and allowed without regard to which member of the family is the owner of the articles.

(1) Are related by blood, marriage, domestic relationship (as defined in § 148.34(c)), or adoption;
