This is proof of the
efficiency with which the flow of transit trucks is controlled, he said in a press
statement on Wednesday, adding that the government provided facilities to ease
the flow of goods to the
Syrian market and gave privileges to those who
transport and deliver Syrian goods and pass through the Kingdom, whether on
land or through the port of Aqaba,
He added that his
organization has many dealings with various Syrian commercial and industrial
companies, and that it has begun to witness remarkable activity since the
opening of the land borders and the ending of the back-to-back system.
The rise in global sea
freight fees prompted many Syrian traders and importers to switch to importing
and supplying goods through the port of Aqaba, instead of the ports in Tartous
and Latakia, to reduce costs and save import time.
Abu Aqouleh also said
that companies operating in the clearance sector take full care of transactions
for Syrian goods that pass through the territory of the Kingdom and deliver
goods to Syria via trucks, and expressed hope that Jordanian trade and services
entities participation in the
Damascus fair will contribute to strengthening
the relations with the Syrian private sector and to introducing it to the
procedures and fees related to importing goods.
Abu Aqouleh expressed
hope that the two countries will work to reconsider the fees imposed on
Jordanian and Syrian trucks transporting transit goods, and called on the
Syrian side to allow goods loaded in containers and imported from the
port of Aqaba to enter Syria.
