Rules and Procedures Applicable to Commodity Transactions Financed by USAID: Inspection and Price Provisions

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) proposes to amend the regulation to implement the requirement for preshipment inspection of commodities and to simplify the current rules on maximum prices for commodities. USAID previously employed post-audit procedures to assure that commodities and related services financed under its programs were not over priced by suppliers. The purpose of preshipment inspection is to complete the price review prior to shipment, rather than after the fact, and when determined necessary, to complete a physical inspection of the commodities being financed. The purpose of the proposed amendment to the price rules for commodities is to make it easier for suppliers to understand and bring it into line with commercial practices used by preshipment inspection firms that will be contracted to carry out the preshipment inspection program.
