The head of the Amman and Jordan Chamber of Industry, Fathi Al-Jaghbir, confirmed that the Ministry of Industry and Trade has begun to apply the principle of reciprocity on imports

In a statement to Al-Rai, Jaghbir pointed out that applying the principle of reciprocity with some countries would primarily serve the national industry and would adjust the trade balance in favour of Jordan.

Al-Jaghbir valued the role of the Ministry of Industry and Trade in responding to the demands of the industry sector in implementing the principle of reciprocity.

The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply had called on exporters to the Kingdom to register on the electronic platform for registering imports into the Kingdom.

The Council of Ministers had decided to start implementing the electronic platform program for registering the Kingdom’s imports from countries that implement similar programs as of 1/1/2022 in order to enable the private sector to identify the conditions governing the program and to allow sufficient time to conduct the registration process on the platform.

The decision comes with the aim of strengthening mechanisms for quality control of products imported into the Kingdom and with the aim of raising the level of safety in products imported into the Jordanian market.

The ministry said that the platform is applied to the imports of countries that apply the same platform to the Kingdom's exports to it as a matter of reciprocity.
