Libyan business officials accused private Egyptian companies of imposing unauthorized fees on goods exported to Libya, including cement, paint, and cleaning products. The Libyan-Egyptian Joint Economic Chamber said the charges ranged from $150 to $700 and were not recognized by authorities in either country. The chamber urged Libya’s government to intervene, warning that the additional costs could disrupt trade flows, increase import prices, and affect supply chains as commercial activity between the two countries recovers.
