215,000 devices unpaid on mobile fees

The Ministry of Telecommunications announced that approximately 215,000 mobile devices in Lebanon remain unpaid in terms of customs duties since January 2019. It encourages their owners to settle their status through "Lebanese Post" centers or at Rafik Hariri Airport within a 30-day period, accompanied by text message notifications to inform them. The Ministry confirmed that the amount owed includes the original customs fees without any fines, and that devices can be appealed and reactivated after verifying the necessary documents. Additionally, the Ministry has taken measures to facilitate the process, such as distributing notifications in batches and providing electronic payment services. It is also working on updating the registration and collection systems in collaboration with various entities to ensure accurate collection and reduce gaps. Furthermore, a tender is being prepared to develop a new automated device monitoring system for mobile phones.
