Unofficial Participants may import under temporary admission regime goods intended for re-export after the event, in particular:

  • materials to be used for the realization and set-up of exhibition spaces;
  • goods intended to be used for the presentation of products of the Country;
  • goods intended for display or to be the subject of a demonstration;
  • tools, materials and means of transport necessary for the realization of the exhibition space;
  • advertising or demonstration non-consumable material, sound recordings, films, slides, and related equipment used to advertise the products.

The goods under temporary admission regime shall be identifiable to allow their recognition at the time of re-export, therefore the customs declaration for temporary admission shall be accompanied by a detailed list of goods with an indication of the means of identification that shall be used (registration number, serial numbers, photos....).

A customs declaration shall be submitted to place the goods under the temporary admission regime. The declaration shall also serve as authorization.

Upon submission of the declaration for temporary admission, a guarantee shall be provided for customs duties due on the goods.

Goods under temporary admission that are not re-exported shall be definitively imported and the relevant duties paid.

The ATA carnet may also be used to place the goods under the temporary admission regime. The goods entering and exiting the territory of the Union accompanied by the carnet shall be presented to the customs office to complete the formalities laid down by the ATA Convention (obtaining the carnet, identifying the goods, certification....).

Please note that use of the ATA carnet does not ensure logistics/procedural facilitations (priority controls, fast corridor for the delivery of goods to the customs clearance point...), as the ATA Convention does not provide for computerized management of the carnet.
