Guide to Export

The Yemeni Customs Law No. 14 of 1990 differentiates between the following types of customs procedures for the exportation of goods:

• Export
• Re-export
• Inward/Outward processing
• Transshipment

Goods subject to export must be taken to be declared in detail to the nearest Customs Department. It is prohibited for transporters towards the land frontiers to cross customs centers or point without permit or to follow other roads with the intent of avoiding such centers and points, provided that as regards goods subject to the control of the customs precinct the provisions determined by the Customs Authority in accordance with the provisions of Customs Law.

The value declared in export is the value of the goods at the time of registering the customs declaration to which are added all costs until the goods leave the frontiers. Such value does not include:

• Fees and taxes imposed on exports
• Internal fees and taxes and production
• Taxes and others that are refunded upon export

Making export contingent upon a license, permit, certificate or any other document obligated the customs department not to allow completion of the customs transaction before obtaining the necessary documents.

In order to export the goods, the following documents must usually be submitted alongside the SAD:

• Commercial Invoice
• Corresponding freight document, e.g. Air Waybill or Bill of Lading
• Certificate of Origin
• Packing List
• Delivery Order, if sea or air freight
