Beyond ordinary clearance, most customs regimes offer special procedures: transit (moving goods through a country to a final destination elsewhere without paying that country's duty), bonded warehousing (storing imported goods duty-unpaid until you are ready to release them for sale), and temporary admission (importing goods that will be re-exported, such as exhibition items or professional equipment, without paying full duty). Many customs authorities also run a trusted or authorised trader programme, rewarding importers with a strong compliance history with faster clearance and fewer physical inspections, which is worth working toward once you have several clean shipments behind you.
