Temporary Importation: Plan the Exit Before the Entry

Bringing equipment in for a project is easy to start and easy to get wrong at the end.

Temporary means it must leave

Commercial or project equipment brought in temporarily is expected to be re-exported within the conditions of the procedure. The entry is only the first half of the process.

Plan the exit on day one

Before the equipment enters, agree who is responsible for re-export, how the exit will be documented, and how the procedure will be closed out. Gaps at this stage are where liabilities arise.

If you can't describe the exit, you aren't ready for the entry.
