If you pay a facilitation fee to have someone expedite the approval of your documentation for importation, is this a FCPA issue or not? $q,$

Only if this payment could be considered to NOT influence the person who was expediting the documentation to favor your company and approve the documents even if there are small errors.

$$ Cannot be a problem

Is not a problem as long as the fee is low $-$ say less than $$200$

$$ It is a FCPA issue to pay any amount.
