Facilitating and expediting payment

Reference no: EM13522666

Danielle is the sales agent representing her company in a Caribbean country. She has negotiated the sale of a large amount of perishable goods to a buyer in that country. The goods have arrived at the local port but only can be off-loaded when the appropriate custom forms are stamped by the customs inspector. The inspector is taking his time; and Danielle is beginning to worry about the condition of the goods. Consequently, Danielle makes a "good will" tip of $200 to the inspector who then promptly processes the forms, thereby releasing the goods for shipment to the buyer. Under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Danielle likely will be deemed to be acting:

Illegally by paying a bribe to a foreign government official.
Illegally since the amount of the tip was too much for such a   lower level foreign government official.
Legally since all payments to foreign government officials are   legal so long as they are not high level officials.
Legally since she made a "facilitating and expediting"   payment.
