Tajikistan - Temporary EntryTajikistan-Temporary-Entry
Having arrived at a port of entry, imported goods remain in temporary storage under the control of customs officials, until they are released according to procedures. Goods can be temporarily stored in appropriate facilities or locations for a fee. Private companies can apply to the customs department for a license to operate private temporary storage facilities. A fee must be paid for the license. The Customs Service periodically publishes a list of temporary customs warehouses. In general, to place goods in a warehouse, customs officials request only documentation identifying the goods to be stored; these documents can be submitted in English. The owner of the temporary customs warehouse is responsible for payment of customs dues for stored goods. If the customs authorities own the temporary customs warehouse, the owner of the goods or entity who placed the goods in the warehouse is responsible for duties. Certain goods that are imported temporarily are fully or partially exempt from payment of customs duties and taxes. These include professional equipment, goods imported for demonstration purposes, shipping containers, and advertising materials. A firm importing goods for a temporary period should provide Customs Service with documents containing the description and value of the goods, and a written confirmation stating that the goods will be sent out of Tajikistan after a defined period.
