Question:Our company will ship a raw material from US to a contract manufacturer in France. The raw material would then be processed to a product and ultimately be shipped back to the US. Is there any possibilities we save duties in this process? Thanks!

Are shipments to a U.S. military base overseas subject to the duties/taxes of the host country? I’m interested in any experiences of members in this area whether dealing directly with base personnel or with contractor firms on base. Just for clarification, this is not about mailing cookies to soldiers or using APO addresses. Thanks!
