During the tour, Shubaili emphasized the importance of facilitating procedures and accelerating customs clearance operations, highlighting their key role in reducing cargo release times, lowering costs for importers and exporters, supporting trade flow, and enhancing economic competitiveness.

He stressed the need to strengthen the spirit of partnership and responsibility among all parties involved in the customs process to ensure effective coordination and achieve the highest levels of efficiency and transparency.

The Minister also addressed concerns raised by some Members of Parliament regarding the X-ray inspection devices used to examine cargo. He affirmed that all operating devices in Aqaba and other customs centers comply with the highest international safety standards and pose no risk to drivers or customs staff. These devices are licensed by the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission and operate within an advanced radiation monitoring system that ensures precise exposure control and maximum safety.

This visit is part of the Ministry of Finance’s efforts to enhance customs performance, promote transparency, and improve the service experience, aligning with international best practices in the sector.
