During a meeting on Tuesday, the ACC council, together
with association members, affirmed that the transport sector is key to the flow
of goods to market, through regulating and completing customs data, and payment
of required fees.
The meeting agreed to form a committee of company
owners and council members to identify issues that hinder the sector and affect
the speed of carrying out transactions, especially with the advent of the holy
month of
Ramadan, where imports will increase.
Company owners presented their primary demands, which
address such matters as procedures at Storage Yard 4 in at the
Aqaba Port,
delays in the completion of customs data through the national platform, the unjustified
high value of price speculations, the quantity and high cost of laboratory
tests required, the maltreatment of navigation companies, and the unethical competition
between clearing companies.
The meeting also pointed to some entities’
bureaucratic procedures that impede the prompt completion of transactions, as
well as high operating costs.
Owners of clearance and transport companies stressed
the need to pay attention to transit trade, and not to limit users to a single
customs office, as well as the need to develop licensing procedures for
clearance companies, establish firm rules for estimated values, eliminate the
service allowance fee of 5 percent, and reduce office rental cost at customs
posts.
There are 246 clearance and transport companies
registered with the ACC.
