Part 2. Reporting Instructions

●

1	 Transactions that should be reported on this survey include the following transfers to
foreign residents and organizations:
1.	 Outright grants of cash.
2.	 Payments abroad for the procurement of goods and services to be used abroad.
3.	 Expenditures for salaries and other goods and services to be used abroad.
4.	 The value of services rendered free of charge such as transportation costs associated with
goods transported outside the U.S. border if such transportation costs are donated at your
expense.
5.	 Applicable sources of funds transferred include (1) funds collected from private donations in the
U.S., and (2) funds borrowed from U.S. banks, insurance companies, and other U.S. sources in
anticipation of sums to be collected later from private donations and pledges.

●

2	 Transactions that should not be reported on this survey include:
1.	 Funds given, donations, or grants made to other U.S. charitable organizations, whether those sums
were used abroad or not. This can lead to a duplication of reporting.
2.	 Shipments (exports) of purchased or donated goods (food, clothing, etc.) from U.S. private sectors or
government agencies to foreign countries.
3.	 Funds spent for your administrative, promotional, and other expenses in the U.S.
4.	 Transportation costs outside the U.S. border that will be paid (or reimbursed) by the foreign
recipient or by a U.S. government agency.
5.	 Transactions (e.g., purchases of goods for export) made with funds previously transferred to, and now
on deposit in foreign recipients’ bank accounts in the U. S. or abroad.
6.	 Funds collected in other countries, or funds collected in the U.S. during the reporting period but not
yet transferred to foreign recipients’ accounts in the U. S. or foreign banks.
7.	 Transactions involving the fulfillment of contracts with the U.S. Agency for International Development
or other U.S. government agencies to perform services in a foreign country. These transactions may
be reportable on Form BE–125; for more information about this form, call 202–606–5588, or visit
BEA’s web site at www.bea.gov/index.htm#surveys.

●

3	 Country Distribution: To the extent your records allow, please allocate your foreign remittances to the
individual foreign countries receiving the benefit of these transfers rather than the countries to which the
payments were made. Thus, if outlays for goods and services were paid to country A, but country B was
the benefiting recipient country, report the outlay to country B.

●

4	 Country Reporting: Report dollar amounts of $10 thousand or more by country. Remittances to international or regional organizations should be consolidated and entered into: “International Organizations” and
several “Regional Organizations” listed on Page 4. Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other
U.S. Territories and Protectorates should be treated as a part of the United States for this survey. Use one
or more overflow sheets as necessary to specify countries not listed.

●

5	 Report amounts in U.S. dollars rounded to thousands (omitting 000). If actual data are not
available, provide your best estimate.

private organization, please indicate that fact in your reply, and give the name of the organization in the
comments section at the bottom of Page 3.
