temporary importation for inward processing
Explanation:
This law refers to the practice of allowing goods to be imported into a country, without subjecting them to duties, taxes and formalities, if the purpose of importing such goods is to process them within the country and then re-export them.

Firstly, the part admisión temporal refers to the temporary importation arrangements made for goods that are to be processed within the country and then re-exported. The importation is temporary, otherwise, these goods do become subject to the relevant duties and formalities if they remain in the country.

Now for the perfeccionamiento activo part:

In the EU, this term is referred to as "inward processing" in the following link:
Spanish: https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tradehelp/es/procedimientos-de-im...
English: https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tradehelp/eu-import-procedures

The quotes are as follows:
Spanish
"Perfeccionamiento activo: las mercancías se importan en la Unión para ser utilizadas en su territorio aduanero en una o más operaciones de transformación, sin estar sujetas a derechos de importación, gravámenes ni medidas de política comercial. Las autoridades aduaneras fijan el plazo en el cual se llevará a cabo el procedimiento de perfeccionamiento activo. En caso de que los productos acabados no se exporten finalmente, estos estarán sujetos a los derechos y medidas correspondientes."

English
"Inward processing: Goods can be imported into the EU, without being subject to duties, taxes and formalities, to be processed under customs control and then re-exported. If the finished products are ultimately not exported, they become subject to the applicable duties and formalities.

This term is consistently translated as "inward processing" in EU Council texts, and these links provide more confirmation of the term:

https://www.revenue.ie/en/customs-traders-and-agents/process...
https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontenten/...

Therefore, I think an appropriate translation for the full name of the act would be:

Nicaraguan Temporary Importation for Inward Processing and Export Facilitation Act (my attempt)

  -> Yes, both "temporary admission" and "temporary importation" can work. In Canada, the term "temporary importation" is used. See https://bit.ly/2WJ1FNR -- "inward processing" is also commonly used. See my links. There's no need to stray from the text here.

temporary admission


Explanation:
Temporary admission (TA) is useful if you temporarily import goods such as samples, professional equipment or items for auction, exhibition or demonstration into the UK. As long as you do not alter the goods while they’re within the EU, using TA should mean you will not have to pay duty or import VAT.

Eligibility for TA relief is based on the type of goods concerned and their use before they’re re-exported. Conditions on ownership may also apply. You cannot use TA to import goods to process or repair them. Relief for this may be available under Inward Processing (IP).

An ATA carnet may also be used to claim relief under TA for goods temporarily imported from specific countries. Using an ATA carnet replaces the normal customs documents that would otherwise be needed on import and re-export.

TA is used across the EU. In the UK the responsible authority is HMRC.

LAW ON TEMPORARY ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR INWARD PROCESSING & EXPORT FACILITATION, Nicaragua
No. 382, approved on February 20, 2001
Published in the Gazette, Official Gazette No. 70 of April 16, 2001
THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NICARAGUA

Apart from those I already published in the discussion box above drawn from existing sources related to Nicaragua, here is another, and perhaps the most reliable of all (one would hope): https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bJcBo5...
Temporary Admissions System (Law 382) (page 15). While 'Admissions' more than likely means 'Importation', given that there already are documents in the private domain using "Admissons", I would rather stay with the more popular terms used in relation to Nicaragua, and on the strength of the "LexMundi" link (above) which states: "(Page 15): Temporary Admissions System (Law 382). This system allows both the entry of merchandise into the national customs territory, andthe local purchase of goods or raw material without paying any kind of taxes or duties. This merchandise must be re-exported after being subjected to a process oftransformation, repair or alteration. The company must request a suspension of duties and tariffs to competent authorities."

I do agree with Michael on one aspect and that is the use of "inward processing" which is more an EU term vs a common US term.

I agree that other translations can be improved upon (three in discussion box), but why re-invent the wheel too much, provided the meaning is clear?

- NIcaragua uses "Law" vs Act.

P.S. Although I would change "Admission" to "Importation", IMO!

Oops .. last line (I am contradicting myself). Please scrap P.S. .. I mean leave "Admission". Perhaps in the legal sphere, but I don't know "Admission" may have a broader legal meaning than "Importation" .. I don't know.
