How to clear goods through customs:
Preferred Method: Prior to the issuance of a globally sourced PO, Procurement advises the department to process a second REQ to the Broker of choice for an estimate of $100, knowing the PO will be amended to cover the actual total of the invoice.
Once the PO is approved and faxed to the vendor, Procurement sends a copy of the PO and the quote to the Broker of choice.

What to do when Goods have already been cleared
If the goods were ordered on a procard or a PO and have already been cleared, a WayneBuy REQ is processed for the Customs Broker. The invoice should be attached in WayneBuy. Once reviewed by the buyer, the REQ is approved for the PO and payment to process.
Please indicate on the REQ in the External Note, the original PO or order number that the goods were purchased on.
