View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to increase the threshold for duty-free entry on foreign supplies that are not from the qualifying countries. The current threshold of $200 for duty-free entry on non-qualifying country supplies and ineligible foreign supplies was established in April 2003, based on the estimated cost to process a duty-free entry certificate at the time. DoD is proposing to make an upward adjustment of the threshold, from $200 to $300, based on the consumer price index (CPI). DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563, completed in August 2011.
