What operations does the temporary import regime allow?

Under the temporary importation procedure, non-Union goods intended for re-export may be placed in specific use in the customs territory of the Union with full or partial exemption from import duties and without being subject to the following:

  1. to other charges prescribed by other relevant provisions in force
  2. to trade policy measures insofar as they do not prohibit the entry of goods into or exit from the customs territory of the Union
  3. that the goods are not expected to undergo any change, except for normal depreciation caused by the use made of them
