Information which might help

• The state provides state warehouses for the safekeeping of goods. These are managed by Customs.

• Once the importer or owner of the goods has met all customs requirements, the goods may be released on receipt of state warehouse rent.

The proceeds go towards covering duties, VAT or other expenses.
