FAR 25.902 Procedures.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section points contractors to the U.S. Customs Regulations for rules on importing supplies and paying duties. It states that imported supplies bought under Government contracts generally go through normal Customs entry and examination and are subject to duty unless the agency gets an exemption. It matters because it tells contractors where the import and duty rules live and that an exemption is not automatic.

Applies to: Shipments of imported supplies purchased under Government contracts

The text

For regulations governing importations and duties, see the Customs Regulations issued by the U.S. Customs Service, Department of the Treasury (19 CFR Chapter 1). Except as provided elsewhere in the Customs Regulations (see 19 CFR 10.100), all shipments of imported supplies purchased under Government contracts are subject to the usual Customs entry and examination requirements. Unless the agency obtains an exemption (see 25.903), those shipments are also subject to duty.
