A temporary export declaration is recommended when valuable items are being sent outside the EU for repair or exhibitions. This ensures you won't have to pay unnecessary import taxes when the shipment returns.
If a temporary export declaration has not been made, the recipient will be charged the courier or freight company's payment service fee and VAT/duties on both the goods and transportation.
For example, UPS charges €20 for a temporary export declaration, and upon return, special import clearance costs around €62.50 plus a payment service fee of about €20.
