“The customs procedure of temporary export is a documentary control. We record the quantity, names and weight of the exported goods. On return, we check the imported goods against the exported goods. There are no customs duties or taxes involved in this procedure. Ural Electronic Customs conducts such control in the shortest possible time, thus helping to spread our art beyond the borders of our country,” said Sergey Epifanov, head of Ural Electronic Customs
