Competitive labor costs, well-established infrastructure, and a booming market make this country a good prospect for foreign tech investment. However, as with others in this region, importing into Lebanon is a complex process with intricate licensing, creating long lead times.
The Lebanese government imposes high import duties and taxes on IT and tech products, which further increases the cost of these products. The import process in Lebanon can be slow and bureaucratic, with businesses often having to deal with a number of different government agencies. This can add to the cost and time of importing tech gear. With TecEx, you can save yourself the headache and let us take on all the compliance risks.
