The Customs Collection and Control Agency reports that, through the General Resolution No. 5719/2025, published today (707.07) in the Official Gazette, establishes the new official criteria for calculating the period of stay in the country of foreign-registered containers entered under the temporary admission regime.
The text of the standard explains that Law No. 24.921, sanctioned on December 9, 1997 and published in the Official Gazette on January 12, 1998, which replaced articles 485 to 487 of the Customs Code, established that the maximum period of stay will be “FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY (480) calendar days” for this type of containers, although He had not specified from when this period should be counted.
This resolution clarifies that the period must be computed "from the date of release of the container subject to temporary importation," in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 1.001/1982. Thus, the previous criterion that took the arrival date of the means of transport as the starting point is repealed.
Consequently, point 6 of Annex I of Resolution No. 869/93 (ANA) is replaced by the following text: "6- The term of stay will be FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY (480) calendar days, non-extendable and It will be computed from the date of release of the container that was the object of temporary importation.”
As the text of the regulation itself states, "it is the permanent objective of this Customs Collection and Control Agency to improve the procedures and controls related to the regimes under its jurisdiction, in order to combat illegal trafficking of goods and the commission of violations."
General Resolution No. 5719/2025 will enter into force effective July 25, 2025.
