rafidainscope - The General Commission of Customs affirmed that the classification of goods and the determination of applicable customs duties fall under its exclusive jurisdiction, in accordance with active tariff schedules.
The Commission clarified that subjecting any material to health inspections does not automatically classify it as a pharmaceutical. It noted that medications are subject to a 0.5% customs duty, while vitamins and dietary supplements are classified based on their composition, incurring duties ranging from 5% to 10%.
The Commission urged importers and relevant parties to rely on official sources to avoid the circulation of inaccurate data that could disrupt the commercial sector.
