A new center for a developed customs center has been opened in the coastal city of Port Said that will facilitate the release on goods and products in record time.  Head of the customs authority Galal Aboul Fetouh has announced that the center has been styled in accordance with a plan approved by the Minister of Finance.  The Developed customs centers include 80% of the volume of imports and therefore requires greater facilities to release the goods within a couple of hours as opposed to twenty four days. Aboul Fetouh has noted that the technical expertise in the surveillance of goods  have been planted to monitor the quality of goods.   An internet network has also been supplanted to facilitate communication among the customs center.  The experiment  has already been used by Alexandria, Cairo, Suez and now in Port Said.  Payment can be done electronically through banks or through delivery of goods provided the importer has a bank deposit to shorten the time span. Aboul Fetouh noted that three more logistic centers will be opened in Alexandria that will comprise 50% of the volume of imports.  Mr. Aboul Fetouh noted that the customs authority supports importers and is eager to create a climate that will activate the market including strict adherence to the principle of reward and punishment.
