Importers and their agents will be able to defer paying 70% of taxes and fees to clear <\/strong>cargo at shipping ports till after the cargo arrives<\/strong>, under new amendments (pdf)<\/a> to the Advanced Cargo Information (ACI) system \u2014 also known as Nafeza \u2014 set to come into effect in October<\/a>. Importers will be required to pay 30% of dues in advance before cargo arrives at Egyptian ports and will be entitled to a refund in the event that their shipment is banned from entry or disposed of. The new rules were approved last week by Finance Minister Mohamed Maait.<\/p>\n

The Nafeza <\/strong>digital customs system<\/a><\/strong> is being rolled out by the Finance Ministry to speed up customs procedures<\/strong> and improve border security. Through Nafeza, businesses importing goods at ports will file shipping documents and cargo data digitally and ahead of arrival via the ACI, which is a World Customs Organization (WCO) protocol that runs on blockchain technology. The government had originally set a 1 July deadline<\/a> for registration on the new system, which was then postponed in response to calls from the business community, who said they needed more time to prepare.<\/p>\n

Want a breakdown of all you need to know on how to prepare for the new ACI system?<\/strong> We have this in-depth explainer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The amendments are the latest in a series of government attempts to reduce trade red-tape: <\/strong>The Customs Authority said earlier this year<\/a> that it would establish a new unit dedicated to investigating complaints from exporters about customs procedures, while the cabinet decided<\/a> to bring back the long-dormant export council to drive policymaking aimed at increasing exports.<\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
