Anti-Dumping & Countervailing Duty Support
At Maple Customs Brokerage LLC, our Temporary Import / Export Processing service ensures your goods move across borders for short-term use without unnecessary duties, delays, or compliance risks. Many businesses need to temporarily import or export equipment, samples, or materials for exhibitions, repairs, projects, or demonstrations. Proper documentation and compliance are essential to avoid full duty payments or penalties.
Our team manages the process from start to finish, ensuring smooth temporary clearance and timely re-export.
What Is Temporary Import / Export?
Temporary import/export allows goods to enter or leave a country for a specific period without being permanently sold or consumed. These shipments may qualify for duty exemptions or reductions if regulatory requirements are properly met.
In the United States, temporary imports are regulated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In Canada, similar procedures are overseen by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Common examples include:
- Trade show or exhibition materials
- Professional equipment (cameras, tools, machinery)
- Goods sent abroad for repair or modification
- Testing samples or prototypes
- Project-based construction equipment
