    1. (1)Temporary imports of unclassified defense articles that are to be returned directly to the country from which they were shipped to the United States;
    2. (2)Temporary imports of unclassified defense articles in transit to a third country;

  3. (c)A DSP-61 license may be obtained by a U.S. importer in satisfaction of § 123.4(c)(4) of this subchapter. If a foreign exporter requires documentation for a permanent import, the U.S. importer must contact the Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for the appropriate documentation. A DSP-61 will not be approved to support permanent import requirements.
