The relevant authorities have issued a decision applicable to land, sea, and air border entry points, introducing financial penalties for imported goods intended for the local market when inspections determine that all or part of the shipment is damaged or unsuitable for human or industrial use, depending on the nature of the goods.
Under the decision, a fine equivalent to three times the customs duty applicable to the damaged portion of the shipment will be imposed according to the customs tariff in effect on the date the customs declaration is registered.
The measure aims to regulate import operations, strengthen quality and safety standards, and reduce the entry of non-compliant goods into local markets.
In this context, Al Tayseer Logistics emphasizes the importance of proper inspection and quality control before shipping. The company supports its clients through logistics consultation and close shipment monitoring to help minimize risks and avoid additional costs and penalties associated with damaged or non-compliant cargo.
