- Kuwait’s Customs Circular No. 24 of 2026 introduces pre-clearance for goods arriving via land ports using the automated customs system.
- Importers and their legal representatives can submit and register clearance data before the goods reach customs.
- If the goods do not arrive within 30 days of registration, the customs declaration is automatically canceled.
- Conventional clearance procedures remain available, and a guidance manual with conditions and steps has been attached.
- The measure aims to speed up declarations, reduce truck waiting times, and maintain customs control while enabling faster release of goods.
