Jordan has modernized its customs environment with new digital tools that accelerate import processing and improve transparency. For global tech companies shipping servers, networking equipment, and telecom hardware, these upgrades reduce delays and simplify compliance.
Here is how Jordan’s new system works and the role Carra Globe plays in ensuring fast, compliant IT hardware shipments.
Jordan’s Modernized Customs Framework
Jordan’s Customs Department has implemented a digital transformation program designed to modernize clearance procedures, reduce bureaucracy, and integrate risk management tools. (customs.gov.jo)
Key system advancements
- Full adoption of ASYCUDA World for digital declarations
- Pre-arrival data processing
- Automated duty calculation and tariff checks
- Unified inspection scheduling
- Integration with Jordan’s national Trade Facilitation Portal
These upgrades align with WCO standards for trade facilitation. (wcoomd.org)
Why This Matters for IT Hardware Imports
IT hardware imports often include high-value devices such as:
- Servers and storage systems
- routing and switching equipment
- wireless communication devices
- cybersecurity appliances
- telecom modules
Jordan’s new system reduces:
- manual paperwork
- errors in HS classification
- long inspection queues
- valuation disputes
- port congestion
For data center and telecom rollouts across Amman, Aqaba, and Irbid, this predictability is critical.
Compliance Steps Under Jordan’s Updated System
1. Pre Arrival Filing Through ASYCUDA
Importers or IOR partners must upload invoices, packing lists, HS codes, and certificates of origin digitally through ASYCUDA before the shipment arrives.
2. Correct HS Codes and Technical Data
Incorrect classification triggers re-inspection or delays. IT hardware must be listed with accurate technical descriptions.
3. Digital Duty and VAT Settlement
Jordan Customs now processes payments electronically with instant validation.
4. Inspection and Release Coordination
Risk-based inspections are assigned automatically based on product type and compliance history.
5. Compliance for Telecom and RF Devices
Wireless or RF-based equipment may require approval from Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC). (trc.gov.jo)
