Jordan has one seaport and one airport, so the route is fixed: Aqaba for sea, Queen Alia for air. The 16% GST lands on CIF plus duty, and JSMO conformity is the most common cause of a container being held.
- Entry points: Aqaba Port · Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)
- Transit: 9–15 days air DDP door to door by air, 30–40 days sea LCL by sea LCL
- Taxes: 0–30% by HS code; 16% GST on CIF + duty
- Threshold: No VAT threshold; ASEZA goods inside the zone can be duty-free

02What decides clearance
The three things that hold a shipment.
Nobody gets held for the reason they expect. It is nearly always the file, the code, or the conformity paperwork — all three of which we can fix before the goods leave China.
- JSMO conformity certificates and Arabic labelling for electronics, toys, cosmetics, textiles and construction materials.
- An Importer's Card is normally required for commercial importing; shipments over JOD 1,000 need a licensed broker.
- ASEZA offers a flat 5% duty inside the Aqaba zone — but moving goods to mainland Jordan triggers full duty and GST at that point.
