Temporary admission of goods

How it works

1. 1

   Step 1: Submit the temporary admission request

   State the purpose, the period requested and the intended place of use, with a detailed list of the goods, serial numbers and values.

   • Applicant
2. 2

   Step 2: Lodge the guarantee

   Provide a bank guarantee or cash deposit covering the suspended duty and tax. The instrument must remain valid for the whole admission period.

   • Applicant
3. 3

   Step 3: Clear the goods under suspension

   Lodge a declaration referencing the approval. The goods are released without payment, and their identity is recorded so they can be matched on exit.

   • Applicant or broker
4. 4

   Step 4: Re-export or regularise before expiry

   Re-export the goods before the period ends, or apply to extend, or pay the duty to place them in free circulation. Overstaying attracts penalty.

   • Applicant

   Apply for an extension at least ten days before expiry.
