Libyan customs has strict requirements on the authenticity and completeness of documents. Please ensure that all documents are true, accurate, and consistent with the actual cargo. Any false information may lead to customs detention and fines.
The main documents required for customs clearance in Tripoli include: original commercial invoice, detailed packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading (B/L), declaration form, and other relevant documents (e.g., MSDS for dangerous goods, inspection certificate for food and medicine).
The commercial invoice must include detailed information such as shipper and consignee details, product descriptions, HS codes, exact values, payment terms, and currency. It is recommended to be notarized if necessary.
The customs clearance process in Tripoli usually takes 3-10 working days, depending on the completeness of the documents, compliance with ACI requirements, verification of import duties, and inspection procedures. We cooperate with local professional customs clearance agents to accelerate the customs clearance process.
For humanitarian cargos, they are exempted from duties and taxes in Libya, but an exemption letter/certificate must be obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and sent to the port authority prior to shipment arrival.
After the customs clearance agent provides all clearance documents and completes the normal process, the shipment will be temporarily released and transported to the designated warehouse under the escort of customs police. The warehouse will be sealed by Libyan customs until the Food and Drug Control Centre (FDCC) releases the final sampling results and approves that the cargo is in compliance with Libyan standards.
