QSP participants will be responsible for procuring (or arranging

for the procurement of) commodity samples, exporting the samples, and

providing the technical assistance necessary to facilitate successful

use of the samples by importers.

Participants that are funded under

this announcement may seek reimbursement for the sample purchase price,

the cost of transporting the samples domestically to the port of

export, and then to the foreign port or point of entry.

Transportation

costs from the foreign port or point of entry to the final destination

CCC will not reimburse the

costs incidental to purchasing and transporting samples, for example,

inspection or documentation fees.

Although providing technical

assistance is required for all projects, CCC will not reimburse the

that the claim is complete.
