Section 30.30

§ 30.30 Values for certain types of transactions.

The following special arrangements govern the values to be reported for shipments of the following unusual types:

(a) Subsidized exports of agricultural products. Where provision is made for the payment of an export subsidy to the exporter for the exportation of agricultural commodities under a program of the Department of Agriculture, the value required to be shown on the export declaration is the f.a.s. value as defined in § 30.7(q), based on the selling price paid by the foreign importer, excluding the amount of the subsidy.

(b) GSA exports of excess personal property. For exports of General Services Administration excess personal property, the value to be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration will be the total of the estimated ``fair value,'' if any, at which the property was transferred to GSA by the holding agency, plus charges, when applicable, to the port of export, such as packing, rehabilitation, inland freight or drayage. The estimated ``fair value'' may be zero, or it may be a percentage of the original or estimated acquisition costs. (Export Declarations for such shipments will bear the notation ``Excess Personal Property, GSA Regulations 1-III, 303.03.'')
