Temporary Admission Made Simple: How We Help Businesses Import Equipment into the UK with Full Duty & VAT Relief

At CustomsBrokerUK, we specialise in helping businesses navigate the complexities of temporary imports into the United Kingdom — saving them time, money, and compliance headaches.

Recently, we successfully cleared a shipment of high-value equipment into the UK for short-term demonstration and evaluation purposes. The movement was handled under Temporary Admission using procedure 53 00 C08, which enabled our client to benefit from:

• Zero-rated VAT

• 100% Duty Relief

• Simplified CDS (Customs Declaration Service) entry

• No need for a full import authorisation

• Seamless clearance via air freight at London Heathrow Airport

Our team also ensured:

• Timely submission of the ENS (Entry Summary Declaration),

• Smooth coordination with the airline’s compliance team (FedEx), and

• Fast delivery to the final UK consignee.

This approach allows foreign businesses to temporarily bring in machinery, tools, or demo products, without the burden of high import taxes — as long as the goods are re-exported afterward.

Who benefits from Temporary Admission?

• International manufacturers showcasing at UK events

• Medical device companies arranging short-term trials
