The contract requires the safe transportation and final delivery of factory-sealed iPhone units to the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, with strict adherence to packaging and labeling standards. Each unit must maintain its original factory seal, be accurately labeled with the IMEI, serial number, and delivery order number, and clearly marked as VAT exempt to ensure compliance with diplomatic customs regulations.

The contractor is expected to manage customs clearance, documentation, and any necessary diplomatic coordination to facilitate smooth entry into Turkey under the embassy’s diplomatic status.
