Customs and Import Issues with Department Orders
The department may receive a call from UPS/FedEx/DHL/Other Shipper stating that there are customs issues with a purchase order placed by the department under their authority.
These companies may ask the department to sign a Power of Attorney (POA) so that the shipper can get the item cleared through customs.
You do not have authority to sign a Power of Attorney for Virginia Tech.
Contact Virginia Tech’s Freight Forwarder for assistance.
