Reports on
countries adhering to
the
Arab boycott of Israel |
| |
|
| |
Summary:
In order to implement the
Arab boycott of Israel, Syria has established rules to simplify the importing
process for clearing goods including:
Establishing a list of goods that
are pre-qualified for import because the product is not Israeli Requiring
direct import to avoid re-importing to avoid Israeli goods entering from
third-party countries Requirement of documentation the establishment of the
imported product id not from Israel.
Documentation requires positive
establishment of the products origin and is meant to avoid asking specifically
if the products are made in Israel, thus working around the US anti-boycott
laws.
Syrian Trade and Boycott Compliance Regulations:
Imports from Israel and most goods not on the permitted list, with
certain exceptions, are prohibited. In principle, imports must be made directly
from the country of origin, without the intervention of any foreign firm. All
imports, except those valued at less than £S2, 000 (£S 500 for
imports from Lebanon) require import licenses before the shipping date.
Two copies of a commercial invoice in English are required. The
consulate retains one copy when the documents are submitted for legalization.
The origin of goods must be specified. The invoice must be notarized and then
certified by the appropriate chamber of commerce. The invoice must be in the
name of the importer in Syria.
Persons holding passports containing a
visa for Israel will be refused entry. |
