An exemption letter/certificate should be obtained from the MoFA and sent to the port authority prior to the arrival of the shipment. Once the customs clearance agent provides all clearance documents and finalizes the process, the shipment will be temporarily released, and transported (the shipment will be escorted by customs police) to the organization’s warehouse. It usually takes 1 to 3 working days to temporarily clear a shipment. The container will be closed and sealed until the Food and Drug Control Centre tests the commodities and confirms the compliance of the shipment with Libyan standards, before issuing the final release. Port Working Hours: Saturday to Thursday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The port still runs limited activities outside of the working hours and holidays, based on need.
