Shipping and tax are reimbursable NDBEDP expenses that are entered separately from equipment costs in the Centralized Database. This allows one shipping charge or sales tax amount to be linked to multiple pieces of equipment, making reimbursement claims more accurate.
Certified entities must identify the equipment associated with each shipping or tax expense and provide supporting documentation, such as shipping invoices or proof of sales tax. Shipping costs that are not related to distributing equipment should be reported under the appropriate Administrative or Outreach category.
Eligible Expenses for Shipping and Tax Costs can be found in the NDBEDP Filing Instructions or Eligible Expenses for the Centralized Database.
