  • Trade facilitation window had helped to reduce the time for clearance and boost the competitiveness of sectors, he said
  • Single window for trade carries out the logistical measures of the Customs Department and other entities on clearance and export

President of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry Fathi Jaghbir said Saturday that the National trade window to facilitate investments and improve the business environment is a key reform leap.

This ensures a better flow of goods and cuts red tape and costs, he said.

The trade facilitation window had helped to reduce the time for clearance and boost the competitiveness of sectors, he was quoted saying, according to a press release.

Jaghbir noted the industrial sector had for long called for creating a unified platform for clearance to keep the pace and level of imports and exports.

The single window for trade effectively carries out the logistical measures of the Customs Department and other entities on clearance and export, he remarked.

It is “in a manner to prop up the competitiveness of the national economy as it reduces the release time of goods, paperwork and import costs, and increases the competitiveness of the Aqaba Port,” he said.
