- As indicated previously, the trial mission to Masnaa border crossing was successful in terms of transportation time, yet various issues were faced with customs clearances on the Syrian side of the border.
- Ministry of Finance is reworking the customs clearance procedures for UN agencies and NGOs. The procedures have not yet been finalized. In terms of the Cluster, if commodities are arriving through WFP-contracted transport, WFP can carry out the customs clearance. If the commodities are arriving independently, UN agencies will go through the Lebanese Higher Relief Commission (HRC) and NGOs will go through the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) for customs clearances.
