Government Extends Exemption of Maritime Freight Charges From Fees and Taxes for 6 Months

Al-Taj News – The Cabinet, during its session held Sunday, decided to approve extending its previous decision to exempt increases in maritime freight charges on goods from customs duties and taxes, and to include all goods arriving via maritime shipping under these exemptions for an additional six months, including general and special sales taxes.
