# 1787.8 Purchase of nondomestic products.

An RUS Borrower may only use loan funds to purchase a nondomestic product if a waiver pursuant to § 1787.10 has been received by the Administrator before entering into a contract with the vendor. Should the Administrator deny the waiver request, the RUS Borrower must use its own funds for the expenditure.
