Looks like this customs law won't pass before the elections, so we have a window of 2 months
New Phone Jomrok / Customs duty in Lebanon
update regarding ny ipad:
it seems that libanpost have a platform to enter imeis.
my ipad accepts An Esim and physical sim but can only use one at a time unlike iphones, however it's still classed as dualsim and hence the libanpost platform requires two imeis while in reality there only is one.
My next step is to reach out to MoT.
Why are things always so complicated in this shithole?

Anyone bought a replica watch online (mainly Chinese website), and delivered by dhl?
I wonder if customs in Beirut will do if they scan the package and see it's a well known luxurious watch but the item price is 200$ on the package?
Will they follow the printed price on the invoice or their own price given by their scan + wakil's price?
Would they confiscate it if they feel it's a replica?

If they will peek inside they will definitely recognize known brand. They often dont check small packages, but thats you and your luck. But especially DHL - often check what is inside and AFAIK they have policy against counterfeit items.
If customs will check authenticity - they will confiscate package (such thing happened on my eyes as with postal packages(not mine), and even with guy who brought bag with luxury items over airport.
If customs will think it is authentic - they will google for cost and charge full cost tax.

Hi everyone,
Is the jomrok to be paid still calculated on 1,500 rate or has it been changed? Want to get my parents new smartphones and it's a bit cheaper in the UAE than Lebanon, wanna know if it will be worth it to get it from here. Thanks

Hi guys. Couple of questions,
(1) Has anyone recently gotten a phone through a person coming to Lebanon? Is it smooth sailing or do people get stopped for having a phone box in their bag?
(2) If anyone has gotten or imported a Google Pixel recently, did you have to pay the phone jomrok fee or are Pixels still not in the database?
Thanks

Hi Roy. I recently brought two new in-box phones in my carry on and no one said a thing, but to be fair I wasn't security checked at the airport. No idea about the Pixel situation - but in any case the jomrok is still priced at 1500LBP/$. I paid a total of 550,000LBP for 2 brand new iPhones.
I got a Pixel 6 Pro from France, and I didn't have to pay the phone jomrok fee, even though I did get the messages from MOT.roy wrote

Is the new custom applied or not yet?
I am tempted by the Pixel 7 Pro , but there is like 60$ difference between Classic/Star apparently not mgamrak and the mgamrak version in other shops

Hello if I want to order an iPhone 13 through SnS will it be more complicated than clearing other items ?
Do I have to pay customs for the phone and when I enter the sim I have to pay again at Liban Post ?
Also if I get a refurbished phone will it cause any issue ?

I've order Google P8P from outgeeked and got the message that i should pay the taxes in 90 days. I contacted them and he told me that I shouldn't worry and if anything happens I can contact them again. Did anyone face anything similar with them before?
had the same issue with home cell store, it hasnt been 3 month yet, so dont know what will happen.
Everyone gets this message no matter who you buy it from, nothing will happen in 90 days.
