Privremeni uvoz će se odobriti samo za robu koja će biti ponovno izvezena u istom stanju u kojem je i privremeno uvezena. Takva se odredba razlikuje od ranije važećeg Carinskog zakona, koji je predviđao i mogućnost privremenog uvoza na oplemenjivanje. Međutim, kada se sa stranom robom namjerava obavljati određena aktivnost odnosno dorada, obrada ili proizvodnja se također odobravaju kroz druge carinske postupke, odnosno postupak unutarnje proizvodnje ili postupak preradbe pod carinskim nadzorom, a ne kroz postupak privremenog uvoza.
