TRADE-<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The Kingdom<\/strong> will begin implementing the revised customs duties starting 1 June<\/strong>, after Finance Minister Mohammed Al Jadaan approved changes to the unified GCC tariff schedule, Umm Al Qura<\/a> reports. The new rules set a 5% import duty on several chemical compounds, including acetophenone and benzophenone, as well as on natural honey products, including filtered manuka honey, according to Al Arabiya<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the GCC integrated customs tariff:<\/strong> Set to be implemented from 1 January 2025 in all GCC states, the new tariff system will expand the current eight-digit tariff codes to 12, aligning with Saudi Arabia\u2019s system for more accurate product classification. It aims to stimulate trade, simplify customs processes within the GCC, and make it easier for the GCC to negotiate free trade agreements as a unified entity.<\/p>\n
