**第一項**  登録自動車（国土交通省令で定めるものを除く。）の所有者は、その自動車を輸出しようとするときは、当該輸出の予定日から国土交通省令で定める期間さかのぼつた日から当該輸出をする時までの間に、輸出抹消仮登録の申請をし、かつ、次項の規定による輸出抹消仮登録証明書の交付を受けなければならない。ただし、その自動車を一時的に輸出した後に本邦に再輸入することが見込まれる場合であつて輸出抹消仮登録を受けさせる必要性に乏しいものとして国土交通省令で定めるものに該当する場合には、国土交通省令で定めるところにより、あらかじめ、その旨を国土交通大臣に届け出なければならない。

Where the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has carried out provisional cancellation of registration for export on the basis of the application under paragraph (1), the Minister must, promptly after the scheduled date of export of the motor vehicle has passed, inquire of the Director-General of Customs about the fact that the confirmation under Article 70, paragraph (2) of the Customs Act (Act No. 61 of 1954) regarding possession of the certificate of provisional cancellation of registration for export prescribed in the preceding paragraph has been made, and about other matters necessary to confirm the fact of export of the motor vehicle. In this case, upon confirming the fact of export of the motor vehicle, the Minister is to carry out cancellation of registration for export.
