The local customs agent is asking for an additional signature to satisfy local requirements. I know it is customary to offer something to “speed things up.” Time is of the essence. If local customs is not cleared quickly, patients may be adversely impacted by a supply shortage. What should I do? First, understand the current import/export requirements for the country involved. Determine if further authorizations are in fact required by local law. Never provide gratuities to any officials to facilitate preferential treatment, regardless of the unwritten law of the land. Seek the advice of your manager or the Legal Department to identify legally acceptable ways to secure a timely release of our product. 26 Our Code of Conduct
