Short & Sweet Digest summer 2024 vol. 1
OPMAS - EU import and admission of aircraft
Leading experts in EU importation and admission issues for aircraft owners and operators.
A tour through selected articles focusing on Temporary Admission
We have made this digest of the most popular Short & Sweet articles covering the use of Temporary Admission (TA). We hope you will enjoy browsing through the list of articles now or in the holiday season.
The four selected Short & Sweet articles focus on how to use Temporary Admission when arriving within the EU.
Unfortunately, the paperless entry and exit procedure has created a common misunderstanding that an operator is not required to present relevant documentation?to prove TA compliance?upon request from customs.?Only the entry and exit are supposed to be paperless, but the operator must continuously live up to the preconditions of TA, handle the limitations correctly, and be able to document these at any time, even if flights are just in and out of the EU with only one visited destination. Correct documentation proving TA compliance is a make-or-break issue during customs ramp checks, and the so-called Supporting Document (if used upon entry) does not prove TA compliance alone.

No. 9: the Supporting Document – What is the Supporting Document, and how do you use it?
No. 11: what do customs look for during a ramp check, and why? – Why are corporate or commercial operators often checked?
No. 14: when does an operator need help? – In which scenarios will an operator need help and guidance?
No. 21: how to prepare for a customs ramp check – Why is documentation needed when TA is supposed to be a paperless procedure?
When flying to the EU under TA, the aircraft must adhere to certain preconditions and be granted a suspension of all normal EU taxes and duties. As a consequence, there will naturally be customs checks, ensuring that the TA terms are correctly fulfilled and documented. Failure to adhere to or document the terms properly most often results in consequences. Here, the lack of relevant documentation has stopped or grounded several aircraft over the years.

Put simply, an operator must choose between:
a) not preparing any documentation and taking things as they come, which we do not advise,
b) preparing the documentation in-house, or
c) ask OPMAS or other customs service providers to generate the documentation.?
