Daanton 09:32 AM, Aug 25, 2023

With regards to OMB Memorandum Circular No. 2005-005 and Memorandum Circular No. 2016-005 regarding the regulation of optical discs for personal use and importation of hard disk drives and optical media writers/drivers, we would like to see your approval on my shipment under FedEx AWB 773071219480 with the following details:

Country of Origin:	USA
Pieces:	20 pieces
Content (description):	    Temperature Recorder
Purpose of Importation:	Samples for Work

The package contains temperature recorders. It is like a thermometer but has the ability to record the temperature at set intervals.

The package was delivered to me by the company I work at, located in the USA. I did not purchase the items online nor did I pay for it. I did not obtain it through an online transaction. Thus, I do not have any proof of payment since I did not buy the items.

The package contains temperature recorders. It only records temperature in intervals depending on how you set it. It does not contain any other data nor can you store or save other information/data aside from the temperature it gathers from the environment. It is like a thermometer but has the ability to record the temperature at set intervals. These samples will be used to record the temperature inside a chilled container and will be returned to our company in the USA to check if it is suitable for that purpose.

"It only records temperature in intervals depending on how you set it"

Sorry for this wrong information. The model that they sent to me cannot be set. We just press start and the temperature recorder will record temp every 10 minutes. We use the default setting since it cannot be programmed using a computer.
