The General Directorate of Customs has formally denied the authenticity of a document circulating on the internet that was falsely attributed to it. This fake circular claimed to address fraudulent practices in the customs clearance of imported vehicles, intended to illegally claim tax privileges reserved for second-hand vehicles under three years old. In a statement released on Monday, October 19, the Customs authority clarified that the note was neither issued nor approved by its departments, condemning the unauthorized use of its visual identity to mislead the public. The agency urges citizens and economic operators to be cautious and to rely solely on official channels—such as their website and verified social media profiles—for any information regarding customs activities.
