yes it is posible. here in Qatar we can clear the shipment with copy documents, but somehow we will pay a penalty of 1% of the CIF value. rather than paying heavy port storage to wait for the original document and it might cost more than the 1% penalty.

Yes in Saudi Arabia it is possible to clear imported consignment from sea port using copies of the import documents. However a typical shipping line letter of guarantee form has to be filled and stamped by importer then submitted to the concerned Bank where original documents are to arrive later on, this is against a temporary blockage of the full amount of the consignment (some times not if importer is a sound customer of the bank with large volume of business). The L/G is to be given along with copies of the import documents to Customs authority for clearance of consignment.

By providing Indemnity letter we can clear the shipment. letter of indemnity is a letter guaranteeing contractual provisions will be meet, otherwise financial reparations will be made.

 

We have to submit the originals to customs before days from the date of custom declaration printed.
