Article 39. Timeline for temporary export of goods

Period for temporary export of goods is two years from the date of placing goods under the customs regime of temporary export.

An individual who placed goods under the customs regime of temporary export shall have the right to end this customs regime before expiration of its validity according to Article 41 of this Code.

A customs authority can extend the period of temporary export for more than two years based on a formal application of an authorized individual in relation to:

goods that are exported for use in facilities, diplomatic missions and consular offices of the Republic of Uzbekistan located on the territory of foreign countries;

railway and air vehicles and their spare parts and transport equipment for their maintenance, which are temporarily exported based on lease agreements between legal entities of the Republic of Uzbekistan and legal entities and individuals of foreign countries. In this case, temporary export period is established based on the terms of a lease agreement;

goods that are exported based on a lease agreement. Temporary export of such goods is permitted for the duration of a lease agreement;

goods (with the exception of goods intended to be left outside the customs territory) that are exported for maintenance and elimination of defects during warranty period under the terms of a contract (agreement, treaty) for export of goods (works and services). Temporary export of such goods is allowed for the duration of the warranty period;

goods with a longer period of temporary export established based on decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

An application to extend the period for temporary export of goods must be submitted to the customs authority before the expiration of the customs regime for temporary export. Extension of the period for temporary export of goods is carried out without actually presenting the goods to the customs authority.

A formal application to extend the period for temporary export of goods by an authorized individual to a customs authority shall not interrupt or suspend the period for temporary export of goods.
