What is temporary storage?
It is the customs situation in which non-EU goods are found from the moment they are presented at customs.
These goods must be the subject of a temporary storage declaration, submitted at the latest at the time of their presentation at customs, unless the goods have been transported under the transit regime (since, in this case, the data of the transit operation may be considered to serve as a temporary storage declaration). The customs authority may also accept one of the following documents as a temporary storage declaration:
- A reference to any entry summary declaration lodged for the goods concerned, supplemented by particulars of a temporary storage declaration.
- A manifest or other transport document, provided that it contains the particulars of a temporary storage declaration, including a reference to any entry summary declaration for the goods concerned.
