Common Challenges When Importing to Jordan

Jordan’s strategic location and political stability make it a key trade hub in the Middle East. However, importing IT, telecom, and high-value tech equipment requires navigating strict regulatory procedures and operational hurdles that can slow down clearance.

1

Licensing and Pre-Approval Requirements

Certain categories of tech and telecom equipment require licenses or pre-approvals from government ministries. Missing authorizations can block shipments at customs.

2

Documentation Complexity

Commercial invoice details, certificates of conformity, and accurate HS code assignment must be precise. Errors or inconsistencies often trigger delays or fines.

3

Customs Procedures and Delays

Jordan’s customs process involves multiple stages within the clearance workflow and inspections. Shipments without proper representation risk prolonged processing times.

4

Duties, VAT, and Valuation Checks

Authorities closely scrutinize HS code declarations and CIF valuations. Incorrect entries may lead to re-assessments, penalties, or shipment rejection.
