Steps

• Send an email message to Michael Grimm in the CMU International Finance Office (IFO) indicating the intent to ship items to CMU Africa (Kigali, Rwanda). Carbon copy the receiving representative, the intended recipient, the responsible finance staff in Pittsburgh, and anyone who is expecting shipment updates. The message to CMU IFO must include

  • The name of the recipient in Rwanda

  • Itemized invoice(s) and a total amount

  • Where the items are being received in Pittsburgh (if applicable - see additional notes)

  • Expected date of arrival in Pittsburgh (if applicable)

  • A list of restricted/hazardous items. Examples are high watt/hr lithium-ion batteries. NOTE: Laptops, smartphones, and battery-powered consumer electronics are not typically considered hazardous

  • A list of individual items or groups of identical items with a purchase price over $2,500.00 USD

• If the buying group is receiving the items

  • Verify the shipment immediately after it arrives

  • Send a follow-up message in the same email thread to the CMU IFO, indicating that the shipment was received

  • Prepare the items for shipment to Rwanda and send to the CMU IFO via Campus Mail. Indicate the intended recipient again wherever possible.

Notes

• The receiving address in Pittsburgh may be the buying group’s or the CMU IFO.

  • If verification of the items is a matter of importance to the buyers in Pittsburgh, please ship to the buying group. CMU IFO does not have the expertise to discover missing, damaged, or incorrect components.

  • Otherwise, items may be shipped directly to the CMU IFO contact. Again, please indicate this in the initial email message.
