If the materials are to be reused, ship from another country would it assist for attaining any LEED Credits? As i understand it would not be sustainable in terms of carbon emission.

Can I include reused furniture?
A material being reused contains recycled content. Can I count this under MRc3 and MRc4?
We are reusing a lot of equipment from another building. Can we count that?
Can crushed concrete, masonry or asphalt being reused onsite qualify as materials reuse?

Ameet, the carbon emissions from shipping are not factored into a product or material's eligibility for this credit. LEED is simply giving some rules for what it thinks should qualify under a given credit intent. You can always find some situations where those rules don't really seem to make sense.
