Upon receipt of a request for a special exception, the agency that receives the request
will consider it in collaboration with the other country's agency. If both agencies
approve the request for a special exception, the agency that receives the request
will issue a certificate of coverage. The certificate of coverage will serve as proof
of exemption from coverage and taxes in the other country.
