At the time this contract is awarded, the Contractor shall certify to the Contracting Officer that all materials, supplies, and equipment to be imported for the contract have been proposed to the Government exclusive of customs duties and other such charges and; further, that the contract price includes no customs duty whatsoever.

The Contractor will submit the original USFK Form 76 to the governing ROK Customs Office no later than the date posted on the Import Permit. If the USFK Form 76 is not submitted by the anticipated date, the ROK Customs Office will immediately collect the customs duties and other such charges previously exempted.

(b) If for any reason the Contractor has paid customs duties on materials, supplies, or equipment prior to award of this contract and desires to use such materials, supplies, or equipment for performance of this contract, the Contractor must exclude such duties from the contract price and may obtain refund of such previously paid duties by submitting a completed USFK Form 76 to the governing ROK Customs Office.

(c) Refund: Any Contractor that requires refund of customs duties and other such charges on items used for USFK contracts, can claim refund of such charges by submitting a copy of a completed USFK Form 76 to the governing ROK Customs Office

It shall indicate the name of the item, the number of units to be purchased, the cost per unit without tax, the percentage of tax, the tax amount per unit, the total tax, and the manufacturer of the item. The Contracting Officer will verify the reasonableness of the quantities claimed and ensure that the Contractor has certified that the contract price excludes Special Excise Tax on those items subject to the tax.

For construction and single-delivery type supply and service contracts, the contractor shall employ the following procedure: At the time it purchases the items it shall present the manufacturer with a notification letter requesting refund of the Special Excise Tax.

When the contractor submits an offer, it shall certify to the Contracting Officer that all the costs in the offer will be exclusive of any Value-Added Tax; and further, that the proposed contract price includes no Value-Added Tax. The contractor shall also indicate the amount and type of Value-Added Taxes excluded from the contract price. If supplies and/or services which the contractor purchases for this contract include Value-Added Taxes, it can obtain a full refund for the amount of the Value-Added Tax by submitting to the ROK District Tax Office tax invoices which the contractor receives when it purchases materials and/or services for this contract. The contractor must submit a copy of the USFK contract with its first tax invoice submission. Subsequent tax invoice submissions must be accompanied by a letter which references the USFK contract submitted with the first tax invoice submission.

5152.233-4703 AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution.
