ncludes customs regulations and contact information for this country's customs office

Lebanon employs a harmonized tariff schedule for the valuation of goods and the levying of customs duties.  In 2018, the High Customs Council proposed a reform strategy to improve operations.  The reforms focus on 1) simplifying procedures, 2) accepting e-payments, 3) enhancing electronic data entry, and 4) establishing an online e-single window for coordinated service with all of Lebanon’s border agencies.  When fully implemented, users will be able to register online, as well as assess and pay declarations directly from their bank accounts.  Local customs agents may assist exporters to navigate the clearance process.
For further information on customs procedures, please refer to the Lebanese Customs Administration’s website.
