Kosovo permits the temporary importation of products for re-exportation provided they do not undergo any change while in country.  Such goods are assessed import duties at a rate of 3 percent of value for every month or fraction of a month in storage.  Kosovo has “bonded” customs warehouses, which are privately owned storage facilities that allow importers to store goods duty free until they are released into the local economy or re-exported free-of-charge.  Their use, however, is limited.  Companies importing warranty and non-warranty items for repair must be authorized by Customs for internal repair or repair under Customs’ control.
