Relief from customs duties in accordance with the regulation on reliefs from customs duty always requires an authorisation for relief from customs duties (TAT) granted prior to the goods being released for free circulation. An authorisation to import scientific instruments and apparatus duty-free can be granted to a public or private institution or its unit, whose operations mainly consider education or scientific research.

Under certain conditions, the authorisation for relief from customs duty can also be granted for importing cultural materials.
