agreement to expand their 25-year-old trade accord after nine years of stalled negotiations.<\/strong> The agreement \u2014 catapulted by the looming threat of US tariffs with Trump\u2019s inauguration \u2014 will reduce barriers for EU companies wishing to operate in Mexico and remove or lower barriers on new sectors, such as services and agricultural products, according to a <a

The increase was driven by a growing gas deficit thanks to a dip in local gas production that saw production fall to a seven-year low of 4.5 bn cfd in October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt\u2019s imports of Israeli gas have been steadily increasing for years <\/strong><strong>now<\/strong>, with Israeli gas imports rising to their current level from just 202 mn cfd in 2020.

pre-submission of cargo goods entering the Kingdom through maritime ports.<\/strong> The rules aim to streamline customs clearance procedures and boost port operational efficiency. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Background: <\/strong>The rules have been put up for public consultation on <a target=\"_blank\"

Once the goods arrive at the customs department, post-arrival clearance allows for their automatic release, providing compliance with the pre-submitted data and verification of import restrictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Non-compliance and penalties: <\/strong>Non-compliance may result in fines ranging from SAR 500 to SAR 1k with certain exceptions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> IN OTHER REGIONAL CUSTOMS UPDATES-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Abu Dhabi Customs and the trade tech firm <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crimsonlogic.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">CrimsonLogic<\/a><\/strong><strong> are working on integrating AI <\/strong><strong>and predictive analytics into the Emirate\u2019s customs operations, <\/strong>according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adcustoms.gov.ae\/Media-Centre\/News\/Abu-Dhabi-Customs-Launches-Development-of-Integrated-Customs-Operations-System-Supported-by-AI\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a> released last week.
