Container re-export obligations: stricter monitoring, bond enforcement, and tightly limited extensions to prevent domestic diversion. Imported durable freight containers are exempt from customs duty if re-exported within six months under a bond; extensions should not be routine. Separate accounts and bonds must be kept for loaded and empty containers, re-export bonds monitored, and demands under bonds issued on expiry. Assistant Commissioners may grant a written-record extension beyond six months up to three months; extensions beyond nine months are generally precluded, though the Commissioner may grant further time for genuine difficulty for limited periods. If goods require detailed examination they should be destuffed and stored while containers are released for re-export.
