1. The qualifying goods
Machinery, equipment and production lines.
2. The destination logic
Goods imported under a project contract for a specific end user.
3. The destination rules
Entry
Report the imported goods to customs in the prescribed way.
Use
Not to be sold or transferred.
Customs inspection
4. The scenario
An exporter had supplied the project earlier.
When a spare part was shipped for the equipment, it could not be classified cleanly as part of the original project.
5. The lesson
Project-specific treatment covers the project equipment.
Spare parts and after-sales equipment follow their own rules.
6. The check
Confirm the destination’s scope for each shipment.
7. Closing view
The project authorisation is not a standing exemption.
