Frequently Asked Questions
How long does customs clearance take at Aqaba Port?
With complete documents and pre-filing, release typically takes 1–3 working days at Aqaba. Complex shipments requiring JSMO inspection can take longer. We advise on expected timelines per shipment.
What documents are required for Jordan import clearance?
Standard requirements: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading (or AWB), Certificate of Origin (usually from China Chamber of Commerce), and the import permit if your product category requires one.
What duties apply on goods imported from China?
Jordan customs duties vary by HS code, typically ranging from 0% to 30%. A General Sales Tax (GST) of 16% applies to most goods. Some categories carry additional levies. We provide a duty estimate during quotation.
Does Jordan have a free trade agreement with China?
Jordan and China do not currently have a bilateral FTA. Standard WTO MFN duty rates apply. However, goods manufactured in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) may have preferential access to the US — we advise on this where relevant.
Can you clear goods if I don’t have an import licence?
Certain product categories (food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics with radio functions) require prior Ministry or JSMO approval before import. We identify these requirements during the pre-shipment review and guide you through the application process.
