Automating the Control and Registry for Motor vehicles crossing the Lebanese borders at the Directorate of Customs

Status :		Completed
Cost :		$189,032
Source of Fund :		Arab Fund for Economic & Social Development
Scope :		The scope of work of this project consists of the provision and implementation of an information system covering the hardware, software application development and training components to provide a fast and reliable registry and monitoring tool for the vehicles crossing all ports of entry of the Lebanese borders. Hardware equipment is also to be provided for five offices: four at the borders (Al Masnaa, Al Kaa, Al Abboudieh, Al Arida) and the directorate’s main office.

More than 2 million motor vehicles cross the Lebanese border every year. With this volume of crossings, it has become crucial for the directorate of Customs to have a controlled and reliable system to manage and register the traffic across all ports of entries at the Lebanese borders. The different types of vehicles are: private and public cars, public buses, diplomatic cars, and Lorries, while the different types of customs vehicles registration forms are as follows:

Unified Carnet for Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan
“Carnet de Passage en Douane”, commonly known as Triptic
Temporary Import Permit
Temporary Import Declaration (IM5)

The main objectives of this project can be summarized as follows:

Facilitating the registry procedure for motor vehicles crossing the borders
Enabling a reliable control for the registry of the vehicles visiting Lebanon
Building a central database for statistics and decision support information on the flow of vehicles through the Lebanese borders and facilitate the usage of this information as indicators on tourism and trade activities.
