Facilities on import of cars by Egyptian expats to be extended for 2 months

A draft law has been submitted by MP Hisham Helal to extend the deadline of facilities granted to Egyptian expatriates to import cars free of customs duty, the Undersecretary of the Parliament’s Plan and Budget Committee MP Yasser Omar announced.

In televised statements on Tuesday, Omar explained that the proposed amendment regarding the exemption of cars from customs adds two months to the initiative period so that Egyptian expatriates are allowed to benefit from the law.

He added that the Parliament’s Plan and Budget Committee approved the proposal in principle, referring to the cabinet’s request to discuss this matter in a broader way with other government agencies
