The General Customs Authority confirmed that the exemption from customs fees for electric and hybrid vehicles is no longer in effect. The authority clarified in an official statement that the schedules circulated through some media outlets and social media, indicating exemptions for these vehicles, are based on a previous Cabinet decision that has been canceled. It added that the collection of customs fees and application of exemptions for electric and hybrid vehicles are strictly subject to current laws, decisions, and instructions, and that schedules relying on canceled decisions do not constitute a legal basis for any exemption. The authority urged all traders, importers, and media outlets to exercise caution and accuracy in disseminating information, relying solely on official sources and decisions issued by competent authorities to prevent any confusion or disruption in commercial and customs procedures.
