Goods imported temporarily shall be entered on which Form Number?

• A. C.41
• B. C.38
• C. C.49
• D. CB.7

Answer: (A)

When goods are brought in for temporary use, a special entry is used to record them so they can be released without paying duties, as long as they are re-exported or removed within the allowed period. Form C.41 is the document designated for that temporary admission, capturing what the goods are, their value, the purpose for bringing them in, how long they’ll stay, and any security or bond that may be required. This form creates the necessary record with customs so the goods can be returned or removed without triggering permanent duty, provided all conditions are met. Other forms exist for different scenarios—permanent imports, exemptions, or other customs regimes—so they aren’t used for temporary admissions. The key point is that temporary imports require a declaration on the form specifically designed for temporary admission, which is Form C.41.
