May I use License Exception AGR to export donations of food, other agricultural commodities and samples of agricultural commodities?
Yes, exporters may use License Exception AGR to export donations of food and non-food agricultural commodities and commercial samples. For donations and samples, there is no contract requirement. The exporter must ship the goods within12 months of the date of BIS's notification to the exporter that no reviewing agency objected to the use of License Exception AGR. Exporters, however, may want to also consider using License Exception Gift Parcels and Humanitarian Donations (GFT) - if they meet the eligibility criteria for this license exception. License Exception GFT authorizes exports and reexports of food in gift parcels by an individual to another individual or eligible group without a license. In addition, GFT authorizes exports or reexports by certain U.S. charitable organizations (see Section 740.12(b)(3) of the EAR for requirements the organization must meet) of donations to meet basic human needs when those groups or organizations have experience in such charitable activities. See Section 740.12 of the Export Administration Regulations for information about License Exception GFT.
