Minister of Investment Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh announced a new mechanism to address issues related to settling customs records for fixed assets benefiting from the Investment Environment Law. This came during a meeting with industrial sector representatives, attended by Jordan Customs Director General Maj. Gen. Ahmed Al-Aqaleek, Chairman of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry Eng. Fathi Jaghbir, and Amman Chamber of Industry Director Dr. Nael Al-Husami.
Dr. Abu Ghazaleh reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to supporting investors. He noted that the new mechanism, now in effect, will expedite the processing of exempt fixed asset records. It distinguishes between customs data before 2002, settled automatically without inspection, and data after 2002, which also settles automatically but requires submitting customs documents.
Maj. Gen. Al-Aqaleek highlighted continued coordination between executive bodies and the private sector to enhance services and ease investor burdens. Eng. Jaghbir praised the Ministry’s efforts and ongoing cooperation to streamline procedures and save investors time and effort.
