Purpose 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 clause at FAR 52.225–8, DutyFree Entry, is included in solicitations and contracts for supplies that may be imported into the United States and for which duty-free entry may be obtained in accordance with FAR 25.903(a), if the value of the acquisition (1) exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold; or (2) does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, but the savings from waiving the duty is anticipated to be more than the administrative cost of waiving the duty. 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.

A. Purpose

    The information relative to the place of performance and owner of 
plant or facility, if other than the prospective contractor, is a basic 
requirement when contracting for supplies or services (including 
construction). This information is instrumental in determining bidder 
responsibility, responsiveness, and price reasonableness. A prospective 
contractor must affirmatively demonstrate its responsibility. Hence, 
the Government must be apprised of this information prior to award. The 
contracting officer must know the place of performance and the owner of 
the plant or facility to (1) determine bidder responsibility; (2) 
determine price reasonableness; (3) conduct plant or source 
inspections; and (4) determine whether the prospective contractor is a 
manufacturer or a regular dealer. The information is used to determine 
the firm's eligibility for awards and to assure proper preparation of 
the contract. Contractors can complete the provision electronically in 
the System for Award Management (SAM); however, because the data being 
collected could change for a specific solicitation, contractors will 
still be required to submit place of performance information on an 
exceptional basis; that is, whenever the place of performance for a 
specific solicitation is different from the place of performance shown 
in SAM.
