Description
The
QSP is designed to encourage the development and expansion of export markets for
U.S. agricultural commodities by assisting U.S. entities in providing commodity
samples to potential foreign importers to promote a better understanding and
appreciation for the high quality of U.S. agricultural commodities. The QSP is
administered by personnel of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) on behalf of
the Commodity Credit Corporation. QSP participants will be responsible for
procuring (or arranging for the procurement of) the commodity samples,
exporting the samples, and providing the on–site technical assistance necessary
to facilitate successful use of the samples by importers. Participants that are
funded under this announcement may seek reimbursement from FAS for the sample
purchase price and for the cost of transporting the samples domestically to the
port of export and then to the first foreign port or point of entry.
Transportation costs from the first foreign port or point of entry to the final
destination are not eligible for reimbursement.
