Algeria imposes additional customs duties among other tax measures

Algeria's Complementary Finance Bill (LFC) for 2018, adopted by a significant majority in both chambers of Parliament, has introduced an "Additional Provisional Safeguard Custom Duty." The new trade barrier provides for additional customs duty varying from 30% to 200%. In a separate effort to establish a trade barrier, Algeria initiated early 2018 measures designed to reduce the country's increasing trade deficit through an import ban on a list of 900 finished goods (executive Decree No. 18-02).

A Global Tax Alert, attached below, provides additional details.
