The new amendments are set to address changes to three customs laws, aiming at streamlining customs facilitation and collections while reducing evasion risks. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- <\/strong>The ministry is set to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9d00b346-8cdf-4024-839b-03967ef22a8c\/trumps-says-three-targeted-iranian-nuclear-sites-totally-obliterated\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">finalize a new package of custom facilities<\/a> within the coming weeks, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said previously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What we know: <\/strong>The amendments include 15 amended articles and 3 newly introduced articles that pertain to installment payment of customs duties, activation of a risk management system, and adjustment of allowable wastage rates for manufacturers to ease regulatory burdens, our source said. The amendments also address feedback from the Federation of Egyptian Industries and the broader industrial community, intending to protect local manufacturing, maintain employment levels, and preserve production activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What the changes will entail:<\/strong> The new amendments aim to streamline customs operations in a number of ways, enabling dispute resolution, waiving fines, and resolving issues related to the retention of import invoices for post-clearance audits in a way that satisfies the industrial sector and reduces potential new disputes. The amendments also aim to reduce customs clearance time to two days from eight in the initial phase, until clearance can eventually happen within hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The amendments also include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Launching a new pricing platform for frequently imported goods<\/strong> to standardize customs valuation and avoid inconsistent pricing estimates across customs points;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enabling six-month installment payments for customs duties<\/strong>, with no late fees for the first three months;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Introducing a wastage allowance of up to 3% for free zones<\/strong> to resolve longstanding issues and reports filed by the Industrial Control Authority against manufacturers.;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Postponing customs duty collection via the Nafeza system<\/strong> <strong>until goods arrive<\/strong> to help ease financial pressure on manufacturers;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expanding the list of acceptable guarantees from importers<\/strong>, including ins. documents;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accepting electronic payments through various digital methods<\/strong>, in line with the government\u2019s digital transformation strategy;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Updating the risk management system<\/strong> and allowing easier conversion of provisionally cleared shipments into production inputs without added costs to facilitate Egyptian exports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REFRESHER- <\/strong>The cabinet <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/f32bcfb7-a8cf-4ce3-a8f0-19feabd313bc\/cabinet-greenlights-formation-of-health-tourism-council,-customs-clearance-committee\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">greenlit the formation<\/a> of a committee to implement a risk management system for customs clearance back in April, with the committee tasked to develop the framework for implementing the system, monitor its execution, and propose legislative changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Planned expansions to the so-called white list have also seen progress: <\/strong>A survey is underway to identify companies and customs clients with no prior record of evasion or customs value manipulation to add them to the white list, which currently includes a limited number of entities. The list is expected to expand significantly upon completion of the survey, providing listed entities with the ability to benefit from expedited customs clearance and inspection, which will in turn support local investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AND- FX collection rules for exports expanded:<\/strong> The Investment Ministry added 65 new items to the list of goods that local exporters must fully collect payment for in foreign currency before shipping abroad, according to a decision published in the Official Gazette. The regulation requires exporters to receive the full value of these goods in convertible currencies \u2014 such as USD or EUR \u2014 through local banks authorized by the central bank and using secure methods like letters of credit and wire transfers. Exporters must provide proof of payment to customs authorities before shipment. The move is part of broader efforts to ensure FX flows through the banking system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The new items span a wide range of commodities<\/strong>, including flour, fertilizers, metals, petroleum products, chemical compounds, waste and scrap materials, and electrical connectors, among other goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>PLUS- Gov\u2019t is also shaking up the way import fees are collected: <\/strong>The Central Bank of Egypt instructed banks to comply with a recent Investment Ministry decision that shifts import fee collection responsibilities from banks to the Egyptian Customs Authority, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/almalnews.com\/2052732\/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a8%d9%86%d9%83-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%b2%d9%8a-%d9%8a%d8%b5%d8%af%d8%b1-%d8%aa%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%8a%d9%85%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%84%d8%aa%d8%ad%d8%b5%d9%8a%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Mal<\/a> reports.

Morningstar\u2019s equity analyst Angus Hewitt has sustained its bearish outlook for Australia\u2019s Qantas Airlines, citing the airline\u2019s hefty fleet modernization bill of AUD 20 bn (USD 13 bn), <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-06-22\/qantas-bear-warns-record-stock-rally-at-risk-from-13-billion-fleet-renewal-tab\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports. Hewitt is the sole analyst out of sixteen watching Qantas to maintain a \u2018sell rating\u2019 for the company\u2019s stock, which has seen a robust rally, rising by 65% over the last year. Qantas was ranked as the industry\u2019s fourth top performer on Bloomberg\u2019s World Airlines index. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The argument: <\/strong>Qantas has ordered <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-08-23\/qantas-orders-24-boeing-airbus-widebody-jets-amid-record-profit\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">nearly 200 new aircraft<\/a> with manufacturers Boeing and Airbus to accommodate demand for direct flights from Sydney to New York and London. Hewitt argues that the cost of modernization \u2014 more than double the forecasted net profit for the same period \u2014 is too hefty and would cause \u201cmedium-term headwind.\u201d The bill also exceeds Qantas' current market value of AUD 15.5 bn, making the replacement a \"massive capex bill,\u201d the news outlet reports, citing an email from Hewitt. <\/p>\n<p
