Some goods enter Gabon duty free on a temporary basis.  For certain sectors, including petroleum, mining, and tourism, the law suspends custom duties in the form of temporary admission (up to ten years) or exemptions on all entry taxes/duties for the importation of material required in its operations.  Seismic boats and drilling equipment in the petroleum sector are examples of exempted goods.
