After application has been approved and participant has reviewed allocation notice, a contract and non-refundable adminstrative fee of 6% of approved funding allocation will be issued and available through the participant’s MyWUSATA account. Once contracted, the participant can conduct eligible international marketing activities through December 31st. Note: activities that occur before approval date are not reimbursable. After conducting eligible activities, participants will have no more than 90 days after the last day of the activity to submit claims for reimbursement.
