Dear Valued Customer
Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) is pleased to announce that a new BGT Customs Area commenced operations one week ago. For now this covers just BGT Berth 27 and the previous customs arrangement at Berth 20 has no change. Regrettably there were some start up misunderstandings, which are now fully communicated and as such customs clearance at both berth 20 and 27 are smooth and very much supportive of your business.
As per our observation, custom clearance is now taking an average of 1 day for most customers.
In case any party is spreading wrong and malicious information on berth 27 customs, please ignore and direct your agent or consignee to contact BGT directly where we can introduce you to the new Customs Director to ensure smooth business transactions.
We thank you for your trust in BGT and please rest assured this new BGT customs area will be a very positive experience in Umm Qasr for all stakeholders.
Yours sincerely,
Basra Gateway Terminal
