Repair and Replacement
Information on repair and replacement.
Where the outward processing procedure is requested for repair, the export goods must be capable of being repaired. Repair must not be used to improve the technical performance of the goods.
Repair of goods includes restoring them to their original condition and putting them in order.
Agricultural goods or primary products such as minerals, chemicals etc are excluded from the OP repair arrangements.
While the goods are outside UK, the repairer may decide that it is not economical to repair them and provide replacements instead. Replacement goods mean the goods that are imported for that purpose.
