• The Order repeals the Ministry of Finance Order 55 dated 8 February 2022 on Approval of Amendments to the Regulation on Completion of Customs Declarations Using Single Administrative Document Forms, which was due to become effective 3 months after the termination or cancellation of martial law in Ukraine based on the Ministry of Finance Order 100 dated 17 March 2022 (overridden by the Order)

The Order becomes effective on the later of 1 October 2022 or the official publication date.
