What is the nature and extent of the customs exemptions and import assistance offered for equipment under GAP?
CRDF can assist in the import of equipment by providing exemption from customs taxes and duties in the host country. CRDF cannot arrange shipment of items, unless specifically agreed to in a separate agreement with the Sponsor, nor can CRDF perform in-country customs clearances, apply for import licenses or physically receive imported equipment on a Recipient’s behalf. Recipient Organizations are responsible for customs clearance and receipt of imported equipment. CRDF will provide guidance and professional advice on the customs clearance process and provide logistical support as necessary.
