Decision No. (160) dated April 6, 2026 on abolishing the discounted "Customs Dollar" rate

Summary: Libya's Ministry of Finance issued Resolution No. 160, officially abolishing the discounted "customs dollar" rate (previously fixed around 2.12 to 2.25 LYD). Importers must now calculate customs duties using the unified official exchange rate set (daily) by the Central Bank of Libya (CBL).

Pre-decision calculation (example: imported goods priced at USD 1,000,000):

USD 1,000,000 × USD/LYD 2.12 = LYD 2,120,000.

Customs Duty = 2,120,000 × 5% = LYD 106,000


Calculation after the decision (Example: imported goods priced at USD 1,000,000):

USD 1,000,000 × USD/LYD 6.35* = LYD 6,350,000

Customs Duty = 6,350,000 × 5% = LYD 317,500

Ulusal Birlik Hükümeti Maliye Bakanlığının (160) no. ve 06.04.2026 tarihli kararı gereği indirimli kur "Customs Dollar" (1 USD = 2.12 LYD) uygulamasının iptali. 

özetLibya Maliye Bakanlığı, indirimli “gümrük doları” kurunu (daha önce yaklaşık 2,12 ila 2,25 LYD arasında sabitlenmişti) resmen kaldıran 160 sayılı Kararı yayınladı. İthalatçılar artık gümrük vergilerini, Libya Merkez Bankası (CBL) tarafından (günlük olarak) belirlenen tek tip resmi döviz kurunu kullanarak hesaplamak zorundadır.

Karar öncesi hesaplama ornegi (USD 1,000,000. değerinde ithal malzeme):

USD 1,000,000. x USD/LYD 2.12 = LYD 2,120,000.

Gümrük Vergisi = 2,120,000. x %5 = LYD 106,000.


Karar sonrası hesaplama (USD 1,000,000. değerinde ithal malzeme): 

USD 1,000,000. x USD/LYD 6.35* = LYD 6,350,000.

Gümrük Vergisi = 6,350,000. x %5 = LYD 317,500.
