Customs Announce End of Exemptions for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

The General Customs Authority announced that the exemption from customs duties for electric and hybrid vehicles is no longer in effect. The authority clarified in an official statement that the tables circulated through media and social networks regarding the exemption refer to a previous Cabinet decision that has been canceled. It affirmed that the collection of duties and application of exemptions are subject solely to current laws and regulations, and that outdated tables do not constitute a legal basis for any exemption. The authority urged traders, importers, and media to exercise accuracy in information dissemination and rely on official sources to prevent any confusion or disruption in customs and commercial procedures.
