Achievements and gains are multiplying under the era of the Director General of Customs and Indirect Taxes, Abdul Latif Al-Omrani, with the creation of new control mechanisms through information systems that keep pace with investors and economic actors and their relations with this vital administration in a manner that serves the interests of both parties in order to ensure transparent and fast processes to develop investment opportunities and bring them into line with the development that the Kingdom is experiencing in various fields.
In this context, the Customs Administration announced, through a press release, the creation of the regional remote monitoring center in the city of Tangier, which will allow economic operators and customs brokers accredited to customs and transport companies, in addition to operators of customs warehouses and customs extraction yards, to continuously simplify customs clearance procedures with the aim of creating a qualitative change in terms of improving the transparency of customs operations and reducing their deadlines in order to save time, avoid unnecessary movements, and then improve the quality of services provided by customs authorities.
This new regional center will allow to group in a single center the remote monitoring operations of the detailed permits of the northern region, as it will include a team of monitoring inspectors responsible for remotely monitoring the same permits within the framework of the available capacities provided by the complete abstraction of the tax path available through the “Badr” information system.
The Customs Administration adds in its press release that the regional center of Tangier will process, in a first phase, the import permits registered in Tangier Med and selected for the green or orange channel, and the import and export permits selected for the green or orange channel registered in the warehouses and customs clearance yards in Tangier, specifying that the follow-up of this change will be done via e-mail @CRTTA douane.gov. ma in order to receive opinions and suggestions on this new program.
In the second phase, the customs administration should extend this model experience to the Greater Casablanca region, then create a national center to play the same role in the final phase.
According to a number of investors and economic actors who had a meeting with the website “Heba Press” regarding the new policy adopted by the General Administration of Customs almost two years ago, it became clear that this administration was determined to resolve a number of outstanding issues and make its decisions exist within the framework of a comprehensive and targeted strategy that takes into account the interests of everyone on an equal footing, without neglecting the great satisfaction that characterized the members of the Moroccan community and their relations with the customs administration, which has reached high levels of trust and security, especially after the appointment of “Abdel Latif El Amrani” as Director General of the agency.
