Tripoli: Tawfik Dabbousi, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Tripoli and the North, on Thursday relayed concerns from traders and businessmen importing goods through Tripoli Port regarding new customs procedures outlined by the Finance Ministry.
According to National News Agency – Lebanon, in a letter to Public Works Minister Fayez Rasamny, Dabbousi warned that the measures could paralyze operations at the container terminal due to a lack of equipment and customs staff-issues that previously disrupted Beirut Port.
Rasamny promised to coordinate with the Finance Ministry and relevant authorities to find alternative solutions that safeguard Tripoli’s role as a trade and investment hub.
