As per reports, the Minister of Finance issued a ministerial decision on Thursday (22 February) to amend some provisions of the executive regulations of the Customs Law. The amendments provide new customs facilities for shipping agencies to expedite the release of goods.
• The ministerial decision allows shipping agencies to submit requests to change the destination of the shipping lists for final imports to dry ports and warehouses and vice versa.
• This also applies to free zones or special economic zones, as long as the approval of the party that makes and receives the change is obtained, except for registered messages.
• The ministerial decision also allows the customs declaration to be modified electronically on the Nafeza platform.
