As a reminder, if you are placing an order for goods of any dollar amount from a supplier that will fulfill orders from outside of the U.S., engage your assigned procurement specialist BEFORE submitting the order, for guidance on duties and freight terms.
It is also important to note the following:
- Importation is only an option if an equivalent item is not available through a University-wide Contracted Supplier or a supplier within the U.S. Your assigned procurement specialist can assist in ensuring all guidelines are followed. For more information on all importing and exporting rules and regulations, visit this page.
- If the import is biological in nature, please contact the University's biological import specialist for an import permit review at tradecompliance@pitt.edu. For additional information and training resources about biological imports, visit this page.
For any additional questions, please contact Purchase, Pay & Travel Customer Service.
