Start exporting to Libya with an export certificate (Certificate of Inspection) from DIN CERTCO / TÜV Rheinland
Libya is an interesting market that has grown steadily in recent years. The largest oil reserves in Africa are in Libya and off its coast. Since its discovery, oil has become the most important economic element in Libya, accounting for 80% of total economic output and 90% of export revenues. Therefore Libya is economically very well positioned.
As a manufacturer, you can benefit from this economic upswing by exporting your goods to Libya. All you need is a Certificate of Inspection. According to the official regulations of the Central Bank of Libya of 30 April 2015, only Letter of Credit (L/C) payments will be accepted for exports to Libya.
