6. General.
a. Home based enterprise sales or services are customarily conducted in a domestic setting and do not directly compete with the installation's officially sanctioned commerce. AR 210-7, para. 2-1c.
b. Home based enterprises cannot compete with AAFES and DFMWR. AR 210-7, Glossary: Home enterprise; AR 420-1, para. 3-17. AAFES and DFMWR are the "primary resale activity" on U.S. Army installations. Resolution of disagreements relating to the primacy of AAFES and DFMWR resale authority resides with the Garrison Commander. The Garrison Commander may delegate this resolution authority, in writing, no lower than the Deputy Garrison Commander.
7. Advertising for any approved home enterprises is at the expense of the HBE permit holder. Any on-post advertising for a home enterprise must be approved by the USAG Humphreys DFMWR Marketing Division at DSN (315) 754-8257 and Commercial (031) 619-8257.
8. A HBE permit authorizes a commercial enterprise activity at USAG Humphreys. Approved HBE must operate within the physical boundaries of USAG Humphreys and is not valid at any other location. When running an enterprise off-post, applicants must abide by Korean law and custom. The USAG Humphreys & Area III Consolidated Legal Center cannot advise applicants or permit holders about Korean law. In those cases, applicants should consider consulting with an attorney licensed in Korea.

• All residents in the applicants’ household, including minor children, are required to have negative tuberculin test.

All children living in the household have current and updated immunization records.
