Body parts, personal belongings and plane debris were gathered by local authorities on May 1, after Dutch expert teams withdrew.
A team of eight experts remains at the scene to collect body parts, belongings and debris to transport back to the Netherlands.
The bodies of the 298 passengers and crew, mostly Dutch, on the Malaysia Airlines flight have so far been flown back to the Netherlands by military aircraft. A memorial service for the victims will be held at Amsterdam-Schipol airport.
The engine debris will be handed over to the Dutch Public Prosecutor's Office and the Dutch Security Office (OVV), which is responsible for investigating the disaster.
The OVV's investigation report on the cause of the accident, which does not mention assigning responsibility, will be released on October 13.
Flight MH17 was shot down by a "large number of projectiles", according to a preliminary report, leading to strong suspicions that the plane was hit by a surface-to-air missile.
The criminal investigation, conducted jointly with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, is being conducted by experts from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine, Australia and Malaysia. In early August, the experts announced that they had identified certain elements related to the BUK missile./.
