so if I buy a phone from abroad right now, I won't pay any VAT or customs?
What if it was shipped via DHL? will they take any "to5liss jomroke"? any hidden fees expected?

That's just TEMPORARY, I wouldn't advise anyone to buy anything yet
The best thing you could do is replying on twitter for the Minister of Telecom to take down this stupid law maybe if he gets overwhelming for him he reacts
This has just been reversed now unfortunately. Minister Talal Hawwat is now giving us 7 days to pay customs and TVA before deactivation. I wonder if this payment can be done from home though?Xsever wroteThe Ministry of Telecom just announced that they are stopping the collection on customs taxes on imported phones for personal use until further notice.

Question to those that have shipped phone from abroad. I'm currently considering to ship a phone using shipped.io and the total quoted price is attractive and includes customs + VAT, the question is, will i have to pay this tax once more when I insert my sim card?

Xiaomi phones like the Mi 9T Pro (K20 pro) are in the libanpost list?
what about Oneplus 7 Pro and 7T Pro?
I saw that some people could bypass paying the registration at the airport by asking aliexpress seller to put anything but mobile phone on the product sheet

And what if you order a smartphone by DHL and arrive at the airport, you are still obliged to go there and pay or you can pay later by libanpost?
If your phone is not on the list of customs, will hey still count 16%? or just 11% of VAT? And based on which value as the let's say Op 7T is not sold in Lebanon?
I asked dhl about smartphones and customs.... They are still stopping each and every smartphone waiting for the ministry of telecommunications to clear it. What the utter bs system they install just to please big friends of the ministry aka the 2 big bosses of woukala
