steps that must be taken at the customs gates. Exporting requires precise procedures and specific documentation to ensure a smooth process and avoid potential problems.
First: Procedures for bringing and placing before customs
You must bring all goods to be exported to the relevant customs office to undergo the necessary examination and control before leaving abroad. Whether it is at the exit office (border office) or the nearest customs office to your organization’s headquarters.
Second: Customs procedures
All goods to be exported must obtain a detailed customs declaration, which can be obtained at any customs office from the exit office, residence, or internal offices.
This permit serves as a license to transport goods, and can also be obtained at various customs offices.
Third: Required documents
- Source invoice.
- Necessary licenses and prior administrative procedures.
- Providing a certificate of origin for goods heading to areas that enjoy customs privileges, such as the European Union, the Arab Free Trade Area, the African Free Trade Area, in addition to Tunisia and Jordan.
By following these steps and securing the necessary documents, you can enjoy a successful and reliable export process, which contributes to enhancing your organization’s foreign trade operations.
Goods inspection:
When it comes to inspecting goods declared for export, this is done through selective physical inspection prior to shipment. This examination is conducted either at the customs office or inside the exporter’s stores, where it highlights the quality of the goods and their compliance with standards and requirements.
The process of inspecting goods within the internal office is facilitated, relieving them from re-examination at the exit office, which saves time and effort.
Export shipping:
Once the necessary permits are obtained, the licensed goods can be exported immediately, or they can be placed in port areas to await shipment. It can also be transported to areas outside the port, where it is subject to customs control until it is exported to its final destination.
