COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3599/82

of 21 December 1982

on temporary importation arrangements

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28, 43 and 235 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas the Community is based upon a customs union;

Whereas the establishment of that customs union is governed, in the main, by the provisions of Title I, Chapter I, of the second part of the Treaty; whereas that chapter contains a body of precise rules concerning in particular the elimination of customs duties between the Member States and the setting up and progressive introduction of the Common Customs Tariff, as well as the alteration or autonomous suspension thereof;

Whereas, except in particular circumstances established in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, the duties under the Common Customs Tariff are applicable to all goods imported into the Community; whereas this is also true of agricultural levies and any other import duty;

Whereas, however, in a certain number of cases such charges are not justified for goods temporarily imported into the Community and ultimately intended for re-exportation without having been processed;

Whereas without prejudice to prohibitions or quantitative restrictions on imports justified under the Treaty or under provisions adopted by virtue of that Treaty, this should be the case for goods temporarily imported for a specific purpose, such as professional press, radiobroadcasting, television, cinematographic and theatre equipment, goods intended for display or use at exhibitions or events, educational, scientific and cultural material, and in all other cases where temporary importation is justified;

Whereas temporary importation allowing the use without payment of import duties of certain imported goods which do not satisfy the conditions of Article 9 (2) of the Treaty, where such goods are intended for re-export in the same state, is provided for in the law of the majority of the Member States; whereas such arrrangements are also the subject of several multilateral international conventions to which some or all the Member States are contracting parties; whereas application of these conventions within the Community, although advisable, presupposes the introduction of Community rules to ensure that they are applied uniformally as required under the customs union;

Whereas it is advisable to ensure that the importation of goods under the temporary importation arrangements does not put producers of similar goods or the users of products satisfying the conditions of Article 9 (2) of the Treaty in a difficult position; whereas, in certain circumstances, the absence of import duties could be such as to disturb the conditions of competition between users of goods placed under the temporary importation arrangements and the users of similar goods taken from the Community market; whereas, to this end, it is important to place time limits upon the use of goods benefiting under those arrangements and to provide in certain cases that part of the import duties be charged;

Whereas the correct administration of the arrangements requires administrative and technical surveillance, in particular to ensure that the goods are not used for purposes other than those which qualify them for the said arrangements, or that the duty applicable is charged in cases where temporarily imported goods are not re-exported; whereas, to that end, it is advisable to provide that the placing of goods under the arrangements be subject to authorizations granted by the competent authorities of the Member State where the goods are so placed and which lay down the conditions governing the stay of the said goods;

Whereas temporary importation arrangements have to cover a wide variety of situations, and must accordingly be so adapted that on each occasion Community interests are adequately protected both from the economic and from the tariff point of view; whereas provision should therefore be made for granting total or partial relief from import duties depending on the uses to which goods qualifying for treatment under the arrangements are to be put;

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of this Regulation, provision should be made for a Community procedure whereby the relevant implementing provisions may be adopted within a suitable time; whereas to this end the Committee on Inward Processing set up by Article 26 of Council Directive 69/73/EEC of 4 March 1969 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation, or administrative action in respect of inward processing (1), as last amended by Directive 76/119/EEC (2), should be entrusted with the task of organizing close and effective cooperation in this field between the Member States and the Commission,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

TITLE I

GENERAL

Article 1

1. Under temporary importation arrangements, goods which are intended to remain temporarily in the customs territory of the Community and to be re-exported may be imported, in accordance with the procedures and conditions laid down by this Regulation, with total or partial relief from import duties.

Temporary importation of means of transport shall be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.

2. For the purposes of this Regulation 'import duties' means customs duties and charges having equivalent effect, as well as agricultural levies and other import charges laid down within the framework of the common agricultural policy or of specific arrangements applicable under Article 235 of the Treaty to certain goods which result from the processing of agricultural products.

Article 2

1. The competent authorities of the Member State in which application is made for goods to become subject to the temporary importation arrangements shall, using an authorization procedure, grant the benefit of the said arrangements to any natural or legal persons who, on their own responsibility, use the goods in question or cause them to be used.

2. They shall take all measures which they consider necessary to ensure that the goods can be identified and that the use to which they are put can be verified.

3. They shall withhold the benefit of the arrangements if it is considered impossible to identify the goods in question or to verify their use.

They may likewise withhold such benefit from persons who do not provide all the guarantees considered necessary, and in particular from persons who have previously made improper use of the temporary importation arrangements.

Article 3

1. With the exception of the cases to be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33, the competent authorities shall, at the time when the goods are made subject to temporary importation arrangements, record the details of the taxation applicable to them and shall determine the amount of the security or the form of guarantee to be provided.

2. Until the exceptions referred to in paragraph 1 have been established the provisions in force in the Member State shall continue to apply.

Article 4

1. The competent authorities shall fix the period during which the goods may remain in the territory under the temporary importation arrangements by reference to the authorized use. Without prejudice to the special periods laid down in Articles 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 17, the maximum duration of this period shall be 24 months.

2. However, where exceptional circumstances so justify, the competent authorities may, at the request of the holder of the authorization extend within reasonable limits and subject to the conditions laid down by this Regulation the periods referred to in paragraph 1 in order to permit the authorized use.

Article 5

1. The competent authorities of the Member State in which the goods have been made subject to the temporary importation arrangements shall authorize the transfer of the benefit thereof to any other person, at that person's request, where he satisfies the conditions laid down by this Regulation and assumes the obligations incumbent on the holder of the original authorization, particularly those arising from the fixing of the period during which the goods remain under such arrangements.

2. Where goods covered by Title III are transferred the import duties due under the arrangements for partial relief shall be charged to the former holder.

3. Transfer of the benefit of these arrangements shall not mean that the same relief arrangements must be applied for each of the periods of use to be taken into consideration.

Article 6

Persons benefiting from temporary importation arrangements shall be required to submit to any surveillance and inspection measures prescribed by the competent authorities.

Such authorities may revoke an authorization if they find that a person benefiting from the arrangements has not complied with one of the conditions under which the arrangements were granted.

Article 31

1. Where goods which are recoverable in the form of waste products resulting from duly authorized destruction are not re-exported, their release for free circulation may, notwithstanding the rules laid down in Article 30, be effected on the basis of the import duty and other particulars material to the calculation of duty applicable to them as recognized or accepted by the customs authority on the date of destruction.

2. In the case of goods imported on a partial relief basis, paragraph 1 shall apply only if the importer has already paid the amount of import duties determined in accordance with Article 25 in respect of the period during which the goods have remained under temporary importation arrangements with partial relief.

3. The deterioration or irretrievable loss of goods as a result of the actual nature of the goods or of unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure, shall be treated as authorized destruction.

For the purposes of the previous subparagraph, goods shall be irretrievably lost if, following their disappearance, they are incapable of being used by anyone.
