Port Sudan – Sudanhorizon

The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning announced its agreement with the relevant authorities on the regulations and procedures for implementing the decision regarding car imports.
During an expanded meeting held on Tuesday at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning in Port Sudan, chaired by Dr Gebreel Ibrahim, the Minister of Finance, the implementation of Cabinet Resolution No. (154) concerning car imports was discussed.
A set of measures was agreed upon, the most important of which included cancelling the registration requirement for personal-use vehicles, with only proof of identity being sufficient. Additionally, the requirement for a port unloading permit was abolished, and cars will now be treated like other commercial goods. The Central Bank of Sudan will handle the related banking procedures, including the IM form.
In another context, Major General Salah Ahmed Ibrahim, Director General of the Customs Forces, announced that personal-use household goods are entirely exempt from customs duties under Article (54 A) of the Customs Law. After verifying that the goods were personal household items for family use, he revealed that all crossings had been directed to facilitate the procedures for returnees.
Major General Salah affirmed the Customs Forces’ support for the Armed Forces, sharing in their victories and joining citizens in their joy of returning to their homeland. He emphasised the importance of not paying attention to rumours spread by certain entities regarding customs matters.
