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 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. 

Total Burden Hours: 6,650.
