Import Tips

File CBP Form 7501 with 'Temporary Importation under Bond' and specify re-export timeline (typically 1-3 years) to avoid forfeiture

Maintain detailed service logs proving testing/calibration/repair occurred and document export via AES filing for duty-free return

Avoid classification as permanent import by including ATA Carnet if eligible, preventing common bonding errors
