Consistency of issued import licences
Article 7
1. The holder of a cultural good for which an import licence has been issued prior to its export or re-export from the Union may refer to that licence in any new application for import. 2. The applicant shall demonstrate that the cultural good has been exported or re-exported from the customs territory of the Union, and that the cultural good for which an import licence is applied for is the same as the one previously licenced. The competent authority shall verify whether these conditions are met and shall issue a new import licence, based on the elements of the previous one, unless it has reasonable doubts about the legal export of the cultural good from the country of interest, based on new information.
