These facts are from GOEIC's list of laws and decisions. Expodite has not summarised the document: what it requires, what and whom it covers, and the date it applies are in the official document.

What to do

  1. Open the official document and read it in full. GOEIC's list gives only its title: what it requires, what and whom it covers, and the date it applies are in the document itself.
  2. If you export the goods it names, check whether shipments you have booked or contracted are affected, and from which date.
  3. GOEIC's list gives the month it was listed, not the date it takes effect. The document itself says when it applies.
  4. The official text is in Arabic. If you do not read it, have it translated before you act on it.
  5. If you are not sure it applies to your goods, ask GOEIC or your customs broker before you ship.
