In order to further the efficient use of United States voluntary contributions for alleviating human suffering, the Administrator is authorized to use funds made available for the purposes of title I to pay transportation charges on shipments of humanitarian goods by United States private and voluntary organizations. Reimbursement under this section may be provided for transportation charges on shipments from United States ports, or in the case of excess or surplus property supplied by the United States from foreign ports, to ports of entry abroad or to points of entry abroad in cases— of landlocked countries; where ports cannot be used effectively because of natural or other disturbances; where carriers to a specified country are unavailable; or where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected by the utilization of points of entry other than ports.
Where practicable, the President shall make arrangements with the receiving country for free entry of such shipments and for the making available by the country of local currencies for the purpose of defraying the transportation costs of such shipments from the port or point of entry of the receiving country to the designated shipping point of the consignee.
