Temporary permits
Everything OilServ moves across a border under a temporary regime carries a duty to move it back by a fixed date. This module holds the request until the permit exists, then watches the clock on that duty until the asset is re-exported and the case is closed.

Permit case TP-2026-0044
Opened from TRF-2026-0193. Scope is one commercial invoice, and every line on that invoice is covered by this permit.
Scope
One permit covers one commercial invoice. Selecting the invoice pulls every line on it, so a permit cannot be saved against a partial line set. A request spanning two invoices generates two cases.
Movement
Country and regime matter as much as port. The Kurdistan Region and federal Iraq are two regimes inside one country, with different authorities and different paperwork.
Parties
In Iraq the permit is sponsored by the operator, not by OilServ, and the sponsor is not always the end client. Both are held, separately.
Line items
Inherited from the selected invoice and validated against the asset master by asset code and serial number, so an asset carries its own permit history.
| Description | Asset / serial | Asset master | HS code | Origin | Qty | Value | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0812 swivel instrument | S/N 0812029 | Matched | 90159000 | UAE | 1 EA | EUR 44,750 | 105 kg |
| Choke manifold 5 valve 3-1/16 10K | CMF1002241 | Matched | 84818090 | UAE | 1 EA | EUR 61,200 | 840 kg |
| Lifting frame, DNV 2.7-3 | LF-0093 | Not in master | 73269099 | UAE | 1 EA | EUR 8,400 | 220 kg |
Security lodged
Under temporary admission a guarantee or deposit sits with customs until re-export is proved. Missing the date costs the fine and the security.
Documents
Certificates arrive in Arabic, Kurdish and English. They are stored against the case and searchable by asset, serial, business unit and permit type.
Licence or special permit
A one-off application to a governing authority, typically Saber for Saudi Arabia or a ministry permit for Kuwait. The request is held until the paper arrives, then approved and the RFQ raised. Nothing is tracked afterwards, because there is no duty to move the asset back.

Permits and licences
One register for all three paths, searchable by asset number, part number, serial, business unit, business line and permit type. Only temporary imports and exports carry a tracked expiry, so licences stay in the register but never reach the watchlist.
