The documents proving D-8 investment fund inflow depend on the form of contribution. For a cash contribution, submit the foreign currency export permit (report) from the customs or a bank of the home country (where applicable) and an investment fund inflow statement (remittance confirmation, foreign exchange purchase certificate, customs declaration, etc.); for an in-kind contribution, submit a copy of the in-kind contribution completion confirmation issued by the Commissioner of the Korea Customs Service and a copy of the customs import declaration certificate.
