This ''law'' is forgotten by the revolution, it's one of the new aberration tax the corrupted have put
New Phone Jomrok / Customs duty in Lebanon
15 days later
Is this law still in effect? I've heard from people who have iPhones and Samsungs and other mainstream devices that after the 90 days their phones still worked just fine. Has anyone actually experienced their phones being barred from the network after the 90 days?

I have an iphone 11 pro max with only 25 days left on the counter will report back once it is over.Salloum wroteIs this law still in effect?

My brother s iphone stopped at 31 days for a while now
Does the 90-day limitation reset every year? I got my phone from abroad and started using it late October. The 90 days are supposed to expire in late January 2020. Will I get new 90 days starting 1 Jan 2020?
The sms states it is 90 days per year and not sure if it is since the day of activation or if it resets Jan 1.

So, any idea if the Jomrok thing still being applied to new phones bought outside of Lebanon? I'm considering buying a new phone for a family member from France.

what about buying a smartphone from aliexpress? Are they still stopping them at the airport?
Are they sopping the service or the days count down?bobo619 wroteThey are stopping at 31 days leftKazouza wroteSo, any idea if the Jomrok thing still being applied to new phones bought outside of Lebanon? I'm considering buying a new phone for a family member from France.
What i learned is that seeing the situation now they have stopped the countdown at 31 days(i contacted an alfa representative). I have no idea if they will reinstate it after the dust have settled.Sasuke wroteAre they sopping the service or the days count down?bobo619 wroteThey are stopping at 31 days leftKazouza wroteSo, any idea if the Jomrok thing still being applied to new phones bought outside of Lebanon?

Any further updates on this? I’m flying in next week and my mother needs a new phone. Considering buying it from abroad but don’t want it to cause her headaches later on.
I have a colleague at work who sent his iphone 7 (something) to France for replacement from Apple because it has some issues (typical Apple), they replaced it with another one and his replacement was blocked today, he said it was like 3 months period since he got it
This law is a farce, the 1st thing the 1st real technocrat government shoudl do is delete this law
If you use your phone in Lebanon and the 3 month counter gets activated, and after that you travel and use your phone outside Lebanon, does the counter restart when you come back?

no the data is saved and it will be modified once the payment is done.
I paid the custom duties on my S10e today since the 90-day time limit does not reset with the calendar year. This was confirmed by the Liban Post employees. When I went to Liban Post to pay, I was asked about the memory size of the phone and I mistakenly replied with 64GB. Therefore, I was charged 140,000 LBP instead of 167,000 LBP for the 128GB model which I actually have. WIN!
Are Xiaomi phones like OP? I mean they forgot about them as they don't have a wakil?
If this is the case I will get one from aliexpress

Nope, they are not. I paid customs fees on my wife's redmi note 4x like 18 months ago from aliexpress.
That's why I stopped buying them. They were my favorite and up till that point I have had ordered like more than 20 xiaomi phones already. Too bad I had to miss on the amazing K20 Pro 256/8 for that reason.
