Important Notes:
- Please DO NOT SIGN any forms on behalf of the University.
- If you are sent a Docusign form, DO NOT sign it—reach out to the shipping company or broker directly to provide this prefilled copy of CBP Form 5106.
Many of you order non-catalog items from other countries using your lab’s purchasing cards.
If the total is under $5K and is for items not available through one of our contracted vendors, this is fine to continue; however, many labs are being asked to fill out customs and declaration forms.
Several groups across campus have been asked to provide CBP Form 5106 to create/update their “importer” profile. Many times the shipping brokers give 48-72 hours to provide a completed form.
It is valid for all units who consider Russell Labs to be their headquarters.
If you have questions regarding other shipping forms, please reach out to Tori and/or the Russell Labs Financial email.
