The waiver is effective immediately. It will be in effect for ten days and covers all products being shipped to the U.S. territory.

In a statement, Sec. Duke said, “This waiver will ensure that over the next ten days, all options are available to move and distribute goods to the people of Puerto Rico.”

Additionally, she said the waiver ensures they have enough fuel and commodities to support lifesaving efforts, respond to the storm, and restore critical services and critical infrastructure operations in the wake of these devastating storms.”
