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.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 1,330.
Responses Per Respondent: 10.
Total Responses: 13,300.
Hours Per Response: .5.
