When
a non-doc shipment is sent to a different country for a limited amount of time
(with a guarantee that it will exit this country again), customs duties and
taxes don’t need to be paid. DHL can arrange this procedure for a customer.
It is known as Temporary Import/Export.
Several
business scenarios require only temporary import or export of a shipment. A
typical example is a product sent to an overseas exhibition or machine parts
sent abroad for repair. Items like this don’t usually remain in the destination
country for more than a few weeks – similar to the way a person travels on a
tourist visa.
In such cases, DHL can arrange for a temporary import (or export) that allows the shipment to be exempt from any customs duties and taxes, based on a guarantee that it will leave the country within a specified amount of time. Under this arrangement DHL ensures that the item enters the destination country duty-free.
When DHL is requested to manage and report a transport as an official Temporary Import/Export, an extra charge is applied.
