Isolation of the Southeast/Transport of goods to the border is being diverted,

The isolation of the southeast due to the collapse recorded on the Librazhd-Prrenjas road axis has also had consequences for the trade of goods and the movement of vehicles at the border.

The Director General of Customs, Besmir Beja, at a press conference this afternoon, announced that the movement of goods will be directed through the border points of Bllata (for entries from North Macedonia) and Kakavija (for entries from Greece).

Meanwhile, for goods blocked in Qafë-Thane, according to him, the External Transit (T1) regime will be applied, which allows diversion towards Bllata, while this situation brings additional costs for businesses.

"New movement alternatives through border points have been identified:

-Bllate (Dibar), for goods entering from or through the Republic of North Macedonia;

-Kakavija, for goods entering from or through Greece.

The Macedonian side will enable at the Bllata point:
The passage of loaded trucks and trailers from 12:00–22:00;
The 24-hour passage of unladen vehicles;
The passage of agricultural products that require certification.

Regarding goods that have already entered the Albanian customs territory through Qafë-Thanë and are located on the blocked axis or in customs premises, the technical solution offered is the use of the External Transit (T1) regime, according to the Customs Code of the Republic of Albania. This regime allows the transit of goods from one customs point to another, through a territory outside the Albanian customs territory.

Specifically, operators must file the T1 customs declaration at the Qafë-Thane customs branch, with destination Bllatë (Dibar), as well as draft a transport document (CMR) for the new itinerary," Beja stated.
