Exclusive: Despite Mohamed Al-Huwaij Backtracking and Wavering on the Decision… Customs Begins Enforcing Ban on Entry of Goods Outside Banking Operations

Our source has obtained a copy of the Customs Authority’s circular initiating the implementation of procedures to completely ban the entry of any goods through customs ports unless they are tied to documented banking operations (letters of credit – direct transfers – collection-based documents).

This comes as Minister of Economy in the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Al-Huwaij, had previously issued a circular delaying the enforcement of the decision until a meeting could be held with various entities — a move that reflects confusion and inconsistency in issuing and retracting his decisions.
