BIS Extends Comment Period for Information Collection Involving Import Delivery Verifications

The Bureau of Industry and Security is extending the public comment period on an information collection involving its delivery verification procedures for imports. BIS said some foreign governments require U.S. importers of certain “strategic commodities” to provide the foreign supplier with a U.S. Delivery Verification Certificate, which validates that the items were received. “This procedure increases the effectiveness of controls on the international trade of strategic commodities,” BIS said in a notice released Sept. 23. The agency is allowing for an additional 30 days of comments on the information collection.
