The center is poised to streamline procedures, significantly reducing clearance times for goods and thereby lowering import and export costs.

Accompanied by Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh, His Majesty conducted a comprehensive tour of the sprawling facility, which spans approximately 1,300 dunums and boasts specialized buildings equipped with cutting-edge customs systems.
