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.

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 duty-free entry of the supplies.
    The clause at FAR 52.225-8, Duty-Free 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.
