SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Affidavit of Individual Surety
(Standard Form (SF) 28) is used by all
executive agencies, including the
Department of Defense, to obtain
information from individuals wishing to
serve as sureties to Government bonds.
To qualify as a surety on a Government
bond, the individual must show a net

the bond on the SF 28. It is an elective
decision on the part of the maker to use
individual sureties instead of other
available sources of surety or sureties
for Government bonds. We are not

collection of this information.
The information on SF 28 is used to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
United States laws impose duties on
foreign supplies imported into the
customs territory of the United States.
Certain exemptions from these duties
are available to Government agencies.
These exemptions are used whenever
the anticipated savings outweigh the
administrative costs associated with
processing required documentation.
When a Government contractor
purchases foreign supplies, it must
notify the contracting officer to
determine whether the supplies should
be duty-free. In addition, all shipping
documents and containers must specify
certain information to assure the dutyfree entry of the supplies.
The contracting officer analyzes the
information submitted by the contractor
to determine whether or not supplies
should enter the country duty-free. The
information, the contracting officer’s
determination, and the U.S. Customs
forms are placed in the contract file.
