ANNEX I

CONVENTION RELATING TO TEMPORARY ADMISSION

PREAMBLE

THE CONTRACTING PARTIES to this Convention, established under the

auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council,

NOTING that the present situation regarding the proliferation and

dispersed nature of international customs conventions on temporary

admission is unsatisfactory,

CONSIDERING that the situation could worsen in the future when new

categories of temporary admission need to be regulated

internationally,

HAVING REGARD to the wishes of trade representatives and other

interested parties, to the effect that the accomplishment of

temporary admission formalities be facilitated,

CONSIDERING that the simplification and harmonization of customs

procedures and, in particular, the adoption of a single

international instrument combining all existing conventions on

temporary admission can facilitate access to international

provisions governing temporary admission and effectively contribute

to the development of international trade and of other international

exchanges,

CONVINCED that an international instrument proposing uniform

provisions in respect of temporary admission can bring substantial

benefits for international exchanges and ensure a high degree of

simplification and harmonization of customs procedures, which is one

of the essential aims of the Customs Cooperation Council,

RESOLVED to facilitate temporary admission by simplifying and

harmonizing procedures, in pursuit of economic, humanitarian,

cultural, social or touring objectives,

CONSIDERING that the adoption of standardized model temporary

admission papers as international customs documents with

international security contributes to facilitating the temporary

admission procedure where a customs document and security are

required,

HAVE AGREED as follows:
