Re-Export

Customs & Trade

Definition

The export of goods that were previously imported into a country, without significant processing or modification. Re-export is common in time-critical logistics when a defective part is removed from equipment and returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. Customs procedures for re-export must be carefully managed to claim duty refunds or exemptions. Proper documentation of the original import and the re-export chain is essential for compliance.
