FAR 52.247-67 Submission of Transportation Documents for Audit.

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 clause requires contractors to send certain transportation documents to a specified address for prepayment audit when the Government will pay freight charges.

Applies to: Contractors and first-tier subcontractors under cost-reimbursement contracts where the United States assumes freight charges

What it requires

  • Submit transportation documents for prepayment audit to the address identified in the clause
