1. general information

1. Limited Stock: Since MAP's inventory is primarily dependent on donations from the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, MAP has limited control over the types and quantities of medicines and medical supplies which are received. All orders are handled on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Any item not available when an order is received will be canceled from the order. MAP does not back-order any item. However, as inventory becomes available, the item may be re-ordered at a later date

2. Product Use: All recipients of MAP donated product assumes full responsibility that all medicines and medical supplies will be used outside of the United States. In compliance with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and Internal Revenue Service regulations, all medicines and medical supplies cannot be sold or exchanged for property or services and must be used only in treating the ill, needy and infants.

3. Customs: Documents are carefully prepared to assist you in the customs process. MAP International is not responsible for customs charges, fines or taxes. Should product be confiscated by customs officials and not released for its intended use, MAP International should be notified as soon as possible.

4. Security: Donations from pharmaceutical and medical supply companies are dependent upon the product being transported and dispensed in a secure manner upon receipt. When making arrangements in other countries, please exercise caution. Shipments to locations in the U.S. for international transport should be opened only AFTER their arrival to the overseas destination. If ANY medicines or medical supplies are lost, misplaced or stolen prior to arriving to their ultimate destination, you are responsible for contacting MAP International immediately.
