SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CUSTOMS IMPORT CLEARANCE
INFORMATION
1. The Office of Logistics Management (A/LM) requests
posts to answer a question regarding customs by January
27 in order to facilitate current negotiations with the
Department of Defense (DOD) designating the Department
of State (DOS) as the transportation service provider
for DoD military and civilian personnel assigned to
diplomatic and consular posts overseas. The change to
DOS as the transportation service provider would reduce
work at GSO sections at posts as GSOs would no longer
need to stay abreast of DoD shipping methodologies.
2. Question: When providing customs import clearance
for personal effects of ANY USG employee officially
assigned to your post, does your host country's customs
clearance process require a copy of the USG employee's
official permanent change of station (PCS) travel
authorization/order as part of the customs import
documentation in order for the effects to successfully
clear customs and enter the country?
3. Please reply by e-mail a short, YES or NO response
to TransportationQuery@state.gov no later than February
2. We appreciate your prompt reply as it is important
to a successful negotiation outcome.
