Project narrative
On May 3, 2020, the Provincial Government of Heilongjiang, China donated 10,000 "procedural" masks and 1,000 "medical outfits" to its sister state government of Wisconsin for Covid-19 Aid. DATCP assisted in communications with the Heilongjiang contacts; the international team of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) coordinated the shipment out of China with the Heilongjiang Provincial Government; and the Wisconsin Technical College System Foundation nominally received the goods and donated them to the state, eliminating the need for duty payments. The estimated value of the donation is $9,000 USD.
