SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. 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.
