HMRC have issued a call for evidence relating to goods imported temporarily into GB for subsequent re-export.
The call for evidence has been influenced by a variety of trade sectors, where importing temporarily can be a necessary business requirement, and where difficulties have been reported relating to both access to, and availability of, temporary import facilitation.
Trade sectors recording an impact include the music, arts, horse racing/breeding, and pleasure craft.
As a result, HMRC and His Majesty’s Treasury have agreed to consider a strategic review of the Temporary Admission procedures and policies, considering possible reforms to the rules, with a view to publishing a summary of responses shortly after the call for evidence closes on September 22nd , 2023.
Evidence submitted will be considered as part of the customs policy-making process, which may lead to further consultation in the future.
How to get involved
The Call for Evidence on how we can improve Temporary Admission was published on June 29th this year. Details can be found at the link below:
