General Issues on Importing and Licensing
Importing equipment may be difficult.
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is principally freed from any import tax for project equipment. Getting items out of custom custody can still be difficult. Ask experienced colleagues how to proceed in your country. Engage experienced importers.

The Role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Technology Transfer / Technology Cooperation
[source: GTZ Study "RETEX_-_Renewable_Energy_Technology_Exchange", main authors: Hedi Feibel, Fritz Kölling]
Intellectual property is an important factor for innovation and technology cooperation. There is an ongoing discussion about the need of a global policy to accelerate renewable energy technology (RET) innovation and support business, governmental, and humanitarian goals. In the Bali conference (COP 13), article 1 (d) of the final document demands „Effective mechanisms and enhanced means for (…) scaling up of the development and transfer of technology to developing countries Parties in order to promote access to affordable and environmentally sound technologies“. From the perspective of Developing Countries, industrialised countries have to provide the relevant technologies or at least the rights to use them if they want them to join their efforts of combating climate change. In certain cases governments from DC’S could force companies in industrialised countries to provide licences in areas of national security (compulsory licenses), e.g. to combat climate change. For the owner of the licence this could mean wasting large investments in the development of sustainable energy technologies like carbon sequestration, off-shore wind farms and bio fuels. This unclear situation could create barriers for the dissemination of sustainable energy technologies.
