Services (suite)
� GOODS EXIT :
At the end of the exhibition no foreign goods from third countries may leave the exhibition precincts unless one
of the following declarations has been previously submitted to the Customs via a customs clearance agent.
Once the goods have been registered, checked and sealed, this declaration will cover their transport.
A) For re-exportation :
The following documents must be submitted for the exit visa: Declarations EX 3 T1.
B) For transit :
To a bonded warehouse where the goods will be placed under permanent customs control: Visa issued by an
international freight forwarder
C) For the sale and supply to consumers of goods firmly purchased by an importer residing
in the French metropolitan customs territory:
depending on individual cases, either declaration EU 4 or declaration IM 4.
• Foreign goods which have been exempted from duties for temporary import and which
remain in the French metropolitan territory to be supplied for embassies' consumption must
be declared to the Customs to pay the applicable duties and taxes.
• Only the above mentioned documents can allow the Customs to terminate the temporary
importation procedure. In the event of non termination – either partial or total – of the
temporary importation, legal action would be taken against exhibitors or customs clearance
agents who would be guilty of abstraction of bonded goods.
� ATA CARNET PROCEDURE FOR EXHIBITIONS
(excluding foodstuffs)
Even after it has been endorsed at the EU frontiers, the ATA carnet must be presented to the Customs at the
exhibition centre. It can be used for goods intended to be displayed or used at an exhibition.
The advantage of this international document is that it can be used in place of national documents. Under the
transit procedure goods can be transported from the frontier Customs to the competent Customs office under
cover of a transit voucher of the ATA carnet.
On arrival of the goods at their destination, the Customs discharge the transit voucher and endorse the goods
on the basis of an entry voucher.
At the end of the exhibition, goods are re-exported using a second transit voucher. It is therefore not
necessary to make the usual warehouse entry and re-export declarations. However, in order to be validly used
in the French customs territory the ATA carnet must include:
o ���� 1 importation voucher;
o ���� 1 re-exportation voucher;
o ���� 2 transit vouchers for re-exportation (one remains at the exhibition's customs office,
the other serves as accompanying document).
It should be noted that the deadline for re-exportation is usually one month after the exhibition closure, and it
shall not exceed the expiry date of the ATA carnet. The deadline will be specified by the Customs on the entry
voucher and on the corresponding counterfoil.
On the other hand, consignment sale will not be strictly excluded, on the understanding that, after a
declaration has been made using COM 5, IM 4 or EU 4 forms and goods have been presented to the
Customs, the goods sold on the domestic market can be used for consumption in the same conditions as if
they were covered by national documents.
