Notice
Summary
Federal employees who received gifts worth $480 or more from foreign governments in 2023 had to report them to their agencies. This report lists all those gifts, including some late reports from 2021 and 2022, making sure everything’s transparent and on the record. Agencies that didn’t report either had no gifts or missed the deadline, so keep an eye on your gift rules and deadlines!
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Reporting threshold: $480 for 2023
If you are a federal employee who received a gift from a foreign government in 2023, you had to report it to your employing agency when the gift's value met or exceeded $480 for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
Travel gifts over $480 must be reported
Gifts of travel or travel expenses from foreign governments that are more than minimal value (more than $480) for calendar year 2023 had to be included in the reports filed with employing agencies.
Aggregate gifts on one occasion counted
All gifts given on a single occasion are aggregated for reporting when their combined value exceeds the minimal value; for 2023 the minimal value used was $480.
Late reports from prior years included
The 2023 compilation includes twenty-three gifts from 2022 and one gift from 2021 that were reported late and added to the 2023 listing to ensure they are on the public record.
Why some agencies aren’t listed
If an agency is not listed in the 2023 report, it either did not receive relevant foreign-government gifts during the year, did not transmit its listing to the Secretary of State, or did not respond to the State Department's request for data.
Senate uses $100 reporting threshold
The U.S. Senate maintains an internal minimal value of $100, and the Senate's report furnishes all gifts over that $100 limit (a different threshold than the $480 used for the Department of State's 2023 compilation).
