What is the structure of the customs and duties of Jordan?

The customs and duties structure in Jordan is governed by the Jordanian Customs Department, which operates under the Ministry of Finance. The system includes tariffs on imports and exports, with rates varying based on the type of goods, their origin, and trade agreements. Jordan has implemented measures to facilitate trade, such as a simplified customs process and reduced tariffs for certain goods, particularly those from Arab countries under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA). Additionally, customs regulations emphasize compliance with international trade standards and promote revenue generation for the government.
