However, no customs debt will be considered to have been incurred provided the goods are returned within a period that would have been allowed had a request for extension been submitted to thier supervising office, and:
- there was no attempt to unlawfully remove the goods from customs supervision
- there was no obvious negligence on the part of the person concerned, and
- the formalities required to regularise the situation in respect of the goods can be carried out.
