Temporary import lets goods enter a country for a fixed period — for an exhibition, testing or demonstration — and leave again without permanent duties.
Common mechanisms include ATA Carnet, temporary admission regimes, and customs bonds. The right route depends on the goods, the country and the length of stay.
Keep the paperwork with the shipment and retain proof of re-export. Failing to re-export on time can trigger duties and penalties.
Work with a logistics partner who handles temporary import every day — small documentation errors are the most common cause of customs holds.
