that the statements made by the minister of industry, trade, supply, and labor,
Yousef Shamali, regarding Syria's ban on importing Jordanian products, are
not accurate.

They stated that there is a list issued by the
Syrian Ministry of Economy and Foreign Trade, which includes items prohibited from
being imported from all countries worldwide, not just Jordan. This is due to
the difficult circumstances the country is going through, and thus, the entry
of these goods is prohibited, regardless of their source.
The sources indicated that
Jordanian-origin goods, not
included in the previously mentioned list of prohibitions, enjoy the benefits
of exemption from customs duties under the
Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement.
Therefore, there are no obstacles to the entry of Jordanian goods allowed for
import into Syria.
Regarding the number of refrigerated trucks and vehicles
leaving Syria through the Nasib border crossing, the source confirmed that
around 100 refrigerated trucks and vehicles arrive daily, with almost half of
them destined for the Jordanian market, and the other half exported to
Gulf countries. Most of these trucks are loaded with
vegetables and fruits. On the
other hand, imports from Jordan usually consist of fertilizers, pesticides, and
some raw materials used in the plastic industry that are permitted to be
imported.
