AMMAN — Around 10,300 vehicles were

Association Mohammad Bustanji said on Sunday.

According to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Bustanji
indicated that the decline in vehicle clearance this year occurred due to the
decreased availability of new cars and global shipping delays caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The decline in clearances on
hybrid cars was due to
the implementation of a new 55 percent tax on the vehicles, said Bustanji. He
also urged the government to review the decisions that affected the Jordanian
Free Zones in general and the automobile sector especially.
A total of 8,931 vehicles were exported in the first three
months of the year, compared to 9,646 vehicles during the same period in 2021.
