The measure takes into account all vehicles whose temporary admission licenses have expired since the beginning of the health crisis in 2020. The extension until December 31, 2022 of these "green cards" is automatic, indicates the Customs Administration in a circular.

The persons concerned are requested to approach the customs office or agent of their choice to return the old "green card" and retrieve the new one, the note specifies, stressing that a duplicate of this document can be issued to persons who have lost it, upon presentation of an affidavit of loss, signed by the cardholder, without the need to present a declaration of loss or theft issued by the competent authorities.
