1504- In accordance with Ministerial Decision no. 490 of 2021, electronic shipment documents (the commercial invoice, the packing list, and the bill of lading) are accepted in accordance with the ACI system within the customs release documents in the 46 register, as long as the importer or his agent has approved them as documents for the shipment using the electronic signature. The customs release procedures are carried out according to the certificate of origin received electronically, provided that the original certificate is submitted before the final customs release, until the approval procedures are accepted electronically.
- According to the Executive Regulation issued by the Decision of the Minister of Finance no. 430 of 2021, Article 366, which stipulates: "Except for customs sites where the electronic system (Nafeza) has not yet been implemented, digital and electronic documents shall be submitted and handled electronically, unless there is an objection accepted by the Minister or his authorized representative." Also, Article 242 stipulates that copies of documents submitted to the Authority may be accepted and the adopted customs procedures may be processed, provided that the goods are not released until after the original documents are submitted, even through newly developed electronic means. Articles 232 and 233 also stipulate not to re-submit documents that were already submitted electronically.
