What is Operations to ensure the preservation of goods?
Work carried out on goods under customs control so that they do not spoil, rot or rust, but which does not change their nature. The Customs Code gives a list of such operations: cleaning, ventilation, drying (including drying with warm air); creating an appropriate temperature regime for storage (cooling, freezing, heating); wrapping in protective packaging, applying protective oil and preservatives; painting to protect against rust, coating with protective substances; applying an anti-corrosion coating. Depending on the specific properties of the goods, other operations may also be included in this category in accordance with the legislation. The term matters in practice in two ways. First, such work is permitted under the temporary storage, customs warehouse and free warehouse procedures: under temporary storage and in a customs warehouse it is carried out with notification of the customs authority. Second, this work is not regarded as processing: the Code does not include it among processing operations within or outside the customs territory.
