Update over exportdocumenten voor Saoedi-Arabië

Op 12 januari 2015 hebben we u geïnformeerd over de onduidelijkheid omtrent exportdocumenten voor Saoedi-Arabië

Nieuws van de Kamer van Koophandel

We hebben het volgende bericht ontvangen van de Nederlandse Kamer van Koophandel, mede dankzij de International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Beide Kamers zijn direct betrokken bij de follow-up van dit proces.

Hieronder vindt u de e-mail (in Engels) die de Nederlandse Kamer van Koophandel met ons gedeeld heeft:

"Having checked your concerned subject with Saudi Customs, please be informed of the followings:

• There is a strategic future plan between Saudi Customs, Ministry of Commerce & Industry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to electronically simplify exchange of import/export documentations between Saudi Arabia and its trading partner countries.
• For trial implementation, a technical company on the name of “ Exportal Services Company (Exportal)” was chosen for trial with only one EU country as a start. If successful, then more trail with other future chosen countries with various necessary alterations to be made.
• So far, this is still a trial with one EU country, through Exportal , and if proved success in future, Saudi Customs will officially notify all concerned governmental agencies & Saudi embassies, in addition to the private sector, though Council of Saudi Chambers.
• Exportal on its own merits, has unfortunately marketed this issue, which led to misunderstanding for many contacted foreign chambers and exporters to Saudi Arabia.
• On conclusion, no date at all is given from Saudi Customs, when this would be implemented, and so far, Saudi Customs still following normal import/export procedures as usual, and no changes in near future, as this issue will certainly take longer time to materialize, if found was success in its initial stage."

Conclusie

Houd voorlopig nog gewoon uw normale (papieren) import/export procedure aan voor Saoedi-Arabië. De proef voor het digitaliseren van het proces neemt meer tijd in beslag, en is tot die tijd uitsluitend voor België van toepassing.

Zodra belangrijke veranderingen bekend zijn, informeren wij u direct.
