Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Platform

The vendor (prime contractor) will be responsible for associating the appropriate brokers to their contracts within PIEE because brokers will not be granted access to PIEE. A tokenized email will be generated and sent to the broker by the vendor through PIEE with a link that will take them to the duty-free certificate form to complete. Once the duty-free certificate form is completed, the information will be validated by the DCMA DFE Team. Once validated, the broker will receive another tokenized email with a link to print their approved DFE certificate.

This change has no impact on the submission of duty-free certificates for CBP purposes. To receive duty-free treatment, importers and brokers are responsible for submitting duty-free certificates to CBP. If a duty-free certificate is not submitted to CBP within six months from the date of entry or release under the immediate delivery release procedures, the entry will be liquidated dutiable with the applicable HTS.
