Sec. 25.903  Exempted supplies.



    (a) Subchapters VIII and X of Chapter 98 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202) list supplies for which 

exemptions from duty may be obtained when imported into the customs 

territory of the United States under a Government contract. For certain 

of these supplies, the contracting agency must certify to the 

Commissioner of Customs that they are for the purpose stated in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (see 19 CFR 10.102-104, 10.114, and 10.121 

and 15 CFR part 301 for requirements and formats).

    (b) Supplies (excluding equipment) for Government-operated vessels 

or aircraft may be withdrawn from any customs-bonded warehouse, from 

continuous customs custody elsewhere than in a bonded warehouse, or from 

a foreign-trade zone, free of duty and internal revenue tax as provided 

in 19 U.S.C. 1309 and 1317. The contracting activity must cite this 

authority on the appropriate customs form when making purchases (see 19 

CFR 10.59--10.65).
