Aqaba Port operations are under ASEZA jurisdiction — customs chief

AMMAN — Jordan Customs Department Director General Munther Assaf on Monday said all administrative issues related to loading and unloading, as well as displaying and handling of products are all vested in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA).

Assaf made his remarks after many traders complained that their wares were not cleared on time from the Aqaba Port.

He stated that customs personnel in Aqaba work under the supervision of ASEZA, so Customs Department responsibility is limited to technical procedures like estimation and categorisation.
