Douaneverdrag inzake de tijdelijke invoer van particuliere wegvoertuigen

1

Each of the Contracting Parties shall grant temporary admission without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions, subject to re-exportation and to the other conditions laid down in this Convention, to vehicles owned by persons normally resident outside its territory which are imported and utilized, for their private use on the occasion of a temporary visit, either by the owners of the vehicles or by other persons normally resident outside its territory.

2

The Contracting Parties may under the conditions set out in this Convention prescribe that such vehicles shall be covered by temporary importation papers guaranteeing payment of import duties and import taxes or an equivalent sum subject to the special provisions of article 27, paragraph 4, should the vehicles covered by temporary importation papers not be re-exported within the prescribed time limit.

1

Component parts imported for the repair of a particular vehicle already temporarily imported shall be admitted temporarily without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions. Contracting Parties may require these parts to be covered by temporary importation papers.

2

Replaced parts which are not re-exported shall be liable to import duties and import taxes except where, in conformity with regulations of the country concerned, they may be abandoned free of all expense to the Exchequer or destroyed, under official supervision, at the expense of the parties concerned.

1

Subject to such guarantees and under such conditions as it may determine, each Contracting Party may authorize associations, such as those affiliated to an international organization, to issue either directly or through corresponding associations the temporary importation papers covered by this Convention.

2

Temporary importation papers may be valid for a single country or Customs territory, or for several countries or Customs territories.

3

The period of validity of these papers shall not exceed a year from the date of issue.

1

Temporary importation papers valid for the territories of all or several of the Contracting Parties shall be known as carnets de passages en douane and shall conform to the standard form contained in Annex 1 of this Convention.

2

If a carnet de passages en douane is not valid for one or several territories, the issuing association shall indicate the fact on the cover and on the importation vouchers of the carnet.

3

Temporary importation papers valid only for the territory of a single Contracting Party may conform to the standard form contained in Annex 2 of this Convention. Contracting Parties may also use other documents, in accordance with their legislation or regulations.

4

The period of validity of temporary importation papers, other than those issued by authorized associations as provided for in article 6, shall be laid down by each Contracting Party in accordance with its legislation or regulations.

5

Each Contracting Party shall, upon request, supply the other Contracting Parties with models of temporary importation papers valid for its territory, other than those appearing in the annexes to this Convention.

1

The weight to be declared on temporary importation papers is the net weight of the vehicles. It shall be expressed in the metric system. In the case of papers valid for one country only, the Customs authorities of that country may prescribe the use of another system.

2

The value to be declared on temporary importation papers valid for one country only shall be expressed in the currency of that country. The value to be declared on a cornet de passages en douane shall be expressed in the currency of the country where the carnet is issued.

3

The articles and tool-kit which form the normal equipment of vehicles need not be specially declared on the temporary importation papers.

4

When the Customs authorities so require, parts (such as wheels, tyres, and inner tubes) and accessories not considered as constituting the normal equipment of the vehicle (such as radio sets, trailers not declared on a separate document, or luggage carriers) shall be declared on the temporary importation papers with the necessary particulars (such as weight and value) and shall be produced on exit from the country visited.

1

Vehicles admitted under the cover of temporary importation papers may be used, for their private use, by third persons duly authorized by the holders of the papers, provided that those third persons normally reside outside the country of importation and also fulfil the other conditions laid down in this Convention. The Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties have the right to require evidence that such persons have been duly authorized by the holders of the papers and fulfil the aforesaid conditions. If this evidence does not appear sufficient, the Customs authorities may refuse use of the vehicle in their country under cover of the papers. In the case of vehicles which have been hired, each Contracting Party may, in the case of fear of abuse, require that the holder of the temporary importation paper be present at the time of importation of the vehicle.

2

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties may permit, in special circumstances and under conditions of which they shall be sole judges, a vehicle circulating under cover of temporary importation papers to be driven by a person who is normally resident in the country of importation, in particular when the driver drives the vehicle on behalf of or under instructions from the holder of the temporary importation papers.

1

The vehicles mentioned in the temporary importation papers shall be re-exported in the same general state, except for wear and tear, within the period of validity of such papers. In the case of vehicles which have been hired, the Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties shall have the right to require the re-exportation of the vehicle as soon as the hirer has left the country of temporary importation.

2

Evidence of re-exportation shall be provided by the exit visa properly appended to the temporary importation papers by the Customs authorities of the country into which the vehicles were temporarily imported.

1

Notwithstanding the requirement of re-exportation laid down in article 12, the re-exportation of badly damaged vehicles shall not be required, in the case of duly authenticated accidents, provided that the vehicles:

• (a)

  are subjected to the import duties and import taxes to which they are liable; or

• (b)

  are abandoned free of all expenses to the Exchequer of the country into which they were imported temporarily, in which case the holder of the temporary importation papers shall be exempt from import duties and import taxes; or

• (c)

  are destroyed, under official supervision, at the expense of the parties concerned, any salvaged parts and materials being subjected to the import duties and import taxes to which they are liable

as the Customs authorities may require.

2

When a vehicle temporarily admitted cannot be re-exported as a result of a seizure, other than a seizure made at the suit of private persons, the requirement of re-exportation within the period of validity of the temporary importation papers shall be suspended for the duration of the seizure.

3

The Customs authorities shall notify, so far as possible, to the guaranteeing association, seizures made by or on behalf of these Customs authorities of vehicles admitted under cover of temporary importation papers guaranteed by that association and shall advise it of the measures they intend to take.

4

When the vehicle or the object listed in the papers are either lost or stolen during the course of seizure only during the period when the public authority possesses the vehicle or the object other than a seizure made at the suit of private persons, no import duties or import taxes can be levied against the holder of the temporary importation papers, who should submit evidence of seizure to the Customs Authorities.

1

Requests for extension of validity of temporary importation papers shall be presented to the competent Customs authorities before the expiry of the period of validity of these papers, unless this is rendered impossible by force majeure. If the temporary importation paper has been issued by an authorized association, the request for extension shall be made by the association which guarantees the papers.

2

Extensions of time necessary for the re-exportation of vehicles or component parts imported temporarily shall be granted when the persons concerned can establish to the satisfaction of the Customs authorities that they are prevented by force majeure from re-exporting the said vehicles or component parts within the time allowed.

3

The validity of temporary importation papers can only be extended once for not more than one year. After this period, a new carnet must be issued and delivered in replacement of the former carnet.

1

If temporary importation papers have not been regularly discharged, the Customs authorities of the country of importation shall (whether the papers have expired or not) accept as evidence of re-exportation of the vehicle or component parts the presentation of a certificate based on the standard form shown in Annex 4 of this Convention issued by an official authority (consul, Customs, police, mayor, judicial officer, etc.), attesting the facts that the vehicle or component parts in question have been presented to it and are outside the country of importation. As an alternative they shall accept any other valid documentary evidence that the vehicle or component parts are outside the country of temporary importation. In the case of papers, other than the carnets de passages en douane, which have not expired, the papers shall be produced at the same time as the évidence referred to above. In the case of carnets the Customs authorities shall accept, as evidence of re-exportation of the vehicles or component parts, the visas entered thereon by the Customs authorities of countries subsequently visited.

2

In the case of the destruction, loss or theft of a temporary importation paper not regularly discharged but relating to a vehicle or component parts which have been re-exported, the Customs authorities of the country of importation shall accept as proof of re-exportation the presentation of a certificate based on the standard form shown in Annex 4 of this Convention issued by an official authority (consul, Customs, police, mayor, judicial official¹⁾[Red: Lees „officer”.], etc.), attesting the facts that the vehicle or component parts in question have been presented to it and are outside the country of importation after the date of expiry of the paper. As an alternative they shall accept any other valid documentary evidence that the vehicle or component parts are outside the country of temporary importation.

3

In the case of the destruction, loss or theft of a carnet de passages en douane while the vehicle or component parts to which it refers are in the territory of one of the Contracting Parties, the Customs authorities of that Party shall, at the request of the association concerned, accept a replacement document, the validity of which expires on the date of expiration of validity of the carnet which it replaces. This acceptance will annul the previous acceptance of the carnet destroyed, lost or stolen. In case of the misuse of a carnet after cancellation by the Customs authorities and the issuing association, the latter cannot be held responsible for import duties and import taxes payable. If, instead of a replacement document, an export licence or similar document is issued for the re-exportation of the vehicle or component parts, the exit visa on this licence or document shall be considered as sufficient proof of reexportation.

4

If the vehicle is stolen after having been re-exported from the country of temporary importation, without the exit having been regularly endorsed on the temporary importation papers and in the absence of entry visas on the papers entered thereon by the Customs authorities of countries subsequently visited, the papers may nevertheless be regularized provided that the guaranteeing association furnishes the papers together with such evidence of theft as may be considered sufficient. If the temporary importation papers have not expired, the Customs authorities may require their surrender.

1

The guaranteeing associations shall have a period of one year from the date of notification of the non-discharge of temporary importation papers in which to furnish proof of the re-exportation of the vehicles or component parts in question under the conditions laid down in this Convention. Nevertheless, this period can come into force only as of the date of expiry of the temporary importation papers. If the Customs authorities contest the validity of the proof provided they must so inform the guarantor within a period not exceeding one year.

2

If such proof is not furnished within the time limit allowed, the guaranteeing association shall deposit or pay provisionally within a maximum period of three months the import duties and import taxes payable. This deposit or payment shall become final after a period of one year from the date of the deposit or provisional payment. During the latter period, the guaranteeing association may still avail itself of the facilities provided by the preceding paragraph with a view to repayment of the sums deposited or paid.

3

For countries whose regulations do not provide for the deposit or provisional payment of import duties, payments made in conformity with the provisions of the preceding paragraph will be regarded as final, it being understood that the sums paid may be refunded when the conditions laid down in this article are fulfilled.

4

In the case of the non-discharge of temporary importation papers, the guaranteeing association shall not be required to pay a sum greater than the total of the import duties and import taxes applicable to the vehicles or component parts not re-exported, together with interest if applicable.

1

Het gewicht dat op de Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer moet worden vermeld, is het eigen gewicht van het voertuig. Het moet worden uitgedrukt volgens het metrieke stelsel. Indien de Bewijzen slechts geldig zijn voor één enkel land, kunnen de douane-autoriteiten van dat land het gebruik van een ander stelsel voorschrijven.

2

De op de Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer te vermelden waarde moet, indien bedoelde Bewijzen slechts voor één enkel land geldig zijn, worden uitgedrukt in de geldsoort van dat land. De waarde welke op een „carnet de passages en douane” moet worden vermeld, dient te zijn uitgedrukt in de geldsoort van het land waar het „carnet” is afgegeven.

3

Voorwerpen en gereedschappen welke tot de normale uitrusting van voertuigen behoren, behoeven niet afzonderlijk op de Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer te worden vermeld.

4

Indien de douane-autoriteiten zulks vorderen, moeten reservedelen (zoals wielen, binnen- en buitenbanden), alsmede toebehoren welke niet geacht worden tot de normale uitrusting van het voertuig te behoren (zoals radio-ontvangtoestellen, aanhangwagens waarvoor geen afzonderlijk Bewijs is afgegeven, en bagagedragers) op de Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer worden vermeld met aanduiding van de nodige bijzonderheden (zoals gewicht en waarde). Bij het verlaten van het land dat is bezocht, moeten genoemde delen en toebehoren worden getoond.

Dat de wederuitvoer heeft plaatsgehad, blijkt uit de omstandigheid dat het Bewijs van tijdelijke invoer op regelmatige wijze voor uitvoer is afgetekend door de douane-autoriteiten van het land waar de voertuigen tijdelijk werden ingevoerd.

1

De in artikel 12 neergelegde verplichting tot wederuitvoer geldt niet ten aanzien van voertuigen welke ernstig beschadigd zijn ten gevolge van een ongeval, waarvan op afdoende wijze wordt aangetoond dat het heeft plaatsgehad, mits, al naar gelang de douaneautoriteiten zulks vorderen, de voertuigen

• a)

  of wel worden onderworpen aan de rechten en heffingen ter zake van de invoer verschuldigd;

• b)

2

Indien een voertuig dat tijdelijk ten invoer is toegelaten niet weder kan worden uitgevoerd als gevolg van inbeslagneming of beslaglegging, anders dan op vordering van particulieren tot stand gekomen, wordt de verplichting tot wederuitvoer binnen de geldigheidsduur van het Bewijs van tijdelijke invoer opgeschort voor de duur van het beslag.

3

Van de gevallen waarin de douane-autoriteiten voertuigen waarvoor de aansprakelijke organisaties Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer hebben afgegeven, in beslag hebben genomen of hebben doen nemen, dan wel daarop beslag hebben gelegd of doen leggen, geven zij voor zover mogelijk kennis aan die organisaties. Zij doen voorts mededeling aan bedoelde organisaties van de maatregelen welke zij voornemens zijn te treffen.

1

Aanvragen tot verlenging van de geldigheidsduur van Bewijzen van tijdelijke invoer moeten, behoudens in geval van overmacht, vóór het verstrijken van de geldigheidsduur bij de bevoegde douane-autoriteiten worden ingediend. Indien het Bewijs van tijdelijke invoer is afgegeven door een gemachtigde organisatie, moet het verzoek om verlenging door de aansprakelijke organisatie worden ingediend.

2

Verlenging van de geldigheidsduur voor de tijd welke nodig is voor de wederuitvoer van de tijdelijk ingevoerde voertuigen of losse onderdelen, wordt toegestaan indien de belanghebbenden ten genoegen van de douane-autoriteiten kunnen aantonen dat zij door overmacht verhinderd zijn bedoelde voertuigen of losse onderdelen binnen de gestelde termijn weder uit te voeren.

Indien een voertuig is gestolen nadat het weder uit het land van invoer is uitgevoerd zonder dat van het uitgaan op regelmatige wijze aantekening is gesteld op het Bewijs van tijdelijke invoer en zonder dat het Bewijs door de douane-autoriteiten van de landen waar het voertuig vervolgens heeft gereden, voor invoer is afgetekend, kan het Bewijs niettemin worden geregulariseerd, mits het wordt overgelegd door de aansprakelijke organisatie en deze de diefstal voldoende aannemelijk maakt. Indien de geldigheidsduur van het Bewijs niet is verstreken, kunnen de douane-autoriteiten vorderen dat het wordt overgelegd.

In de landen welker voorschriften niet voorzien in consignatie of voorlopige betaling van rechten en heffingen ter zake van de invoer, hebben de betalingen die overeenkomstig de bepalingen van het vorige lid zijn gedaan een definitief karakter, met dien verstande evenwel, dat de betaalde bedragen kunnen worden teruggegeven indien aan de voorwaarden van dit artikel is voldaan.

4

Indien het Bewijs van tijdelijke invoer niet is gezuiverd, kan de aansprakelijke organisatie niet worden verplicht meer te betalen dan het bedrag van de rechten en heffingen ter zake van de invoer die verschuldigd zijn voor het voertuig of voor de losse onderdelen, welke niet weder werden uitgevoerd, eventueel vermeerderd met de rente wegens achterstallige betaling.
