[Note: This section should contain information on the usual duties & taxes exemption regime during non-emergency times, when there is no declared state of emergency and no streamlines process (e.g. regular importations/development/etc.).]
Import duty & taxes when importing into Cyprus:
Import duty and taxes are due when importing goods into Cyprus from
outside of the EU whether by a private individual or a commercial
entity. The import duty and taxes payable are calculated on the
value of the imported goods plus the cost of importing them
(shipping and insurance). The duty rates applied to imports
into Cyprus typically range between 0% (for example books) and 17%
(for example Wellington Boots). Some products, such as Laptops,
Mobile Phones, Digital cameras and Video Game consoles, are duty
free. Certain goods may be subject to additional duties depending
on the country of manufacture, for example Bicycles made in China
carry an additional (anti dumping) duty of 48.5%. The standard
VAT rate for importing items into Cyprus is 18%, with certain
products, for example books, attracting VAT at the reduced rate of
8% or 5%. VAT is calculated on the value of the goods, plus the
international shipping costs and insurance, plus any import duty
due.
When importing goods into Cyprus, duty is not charged if the total
value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does
not exceed €150. Neither duty nor VAT is payable if the total value
of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not
exceed €17.09.
Excise duty is payable on for example tobacco and
alcohol. Additional custom fees can be charged to cover the
expense of performing any required examinations, verification and
or testing of the imported goods.

2 Cyprus Logistics Infrastructure
Cyprus Logistics Infrastructure
The following sections contain information on the logistics infrastructure of Cyprus
2.1 Cyprus Port Assessment
Cyprus Port Assessment
Cyprus’ strategic location makes it invaluable as a trade and
logistics hub. The upgrading of all its key infrastructural
facilities such as ports, airports, roads and telecommunications
has given the island the impetus it needs to take the sector a step
further.
Cyprus is an island nation heavily dependent on international trade
and its advanced transport sector has played a significant role in
its economic development. The country’s flourishing shipping
industry, expanding ports and airports as well as its cargo
handling facilities present businesses with efficient sea and air
logistics solutions.
The island has a fully upgraded port system, including the
multipurpose ports of Limassol with an annual capacity of 600,000
twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), Larnaca with an annual capacity
of 250,000 TEUs, the industrial port of Vassilikos and the
specialised oil terminals of Larnaca, Dhekelia and Moni. These are
all owned and managed by the Cyprus Ports Authority, which handled
7.1 million metric tonnes of cargo in 2011. Some 100 international
shipping lines include Cyprus in their regular schedules, and in
2011 approximately 4,250 ships called at Cypriot ports.
The government has invested heavily in the transport infrastructure
and is funding an on-going €80 million project to develop Limassol
port. This involves deepening the container terminal basin and the
entrance channel, the construction of a new passenger terminal and
a luxury marina project. The extension of the west basin quay is
expected to be completed in 2014. Limassol port is the main port of
Cyprus, providing services to ships, loading and unloading of cargo
and passenger traffic. The strategic position of Limassol port,
Cyprus’ EU membership and the deregulation of port services lend
very optimistic prospects to the future of the port and to the
cargo and passenger traffic that pass through it.
The second largest port of Larnaca has also undergone significant
improvements over recent years. The further development of the port
has been an important priority for the Cyprus Ports Authority,
while the Government has been promoting the development of Larnaca
marina. After two years of negotiations the government has signed a
€700 million agreement with a private consortium to develop both
the Larnaca port and marina. Following various studies, Larnaca
will be converted into the main port for cruise lines and passenger
traffic, with certain trade activities covering local cargoes and
needs. Today it is a multipurpose port handling various types of
cargo including unpacked (animal fodder, grain, gypsum),
conventional (lumber, iron, fertilizers, automobiles) and oil
products.
Development plans for Vassilikos include the construction of a
major oil and gas import and distribution terminal, which is set to
be completed in 2014. The Vassilikos area is also the main port for
industrial and dirty bulk cargo, catering to various types of
imports and exports, with the primary export cargo being cement
with 350,000 tonnes.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies
The Cyprus Ports Authority was established in 1973 on the basis
of the 1973 Ports Authority Law. This was a result of a clause in a
Loan granted to the Republic of Cyprus by the World Bank for
Reconstruction and Development in 1969, for the construction of
(Lemesos) Limassol and Larnaka ports. The Bank had asked for the
creation of an independent and flexible organisation free of pubic
sector bureaucratic procedures and which could operate on a
commercial basis.
Cyprus Ports Authority is a Public Sector Entity set up by law and
governed by a nine-member Board (Chairman, Vice-Chairman and seven
members) appointed by the Council of Ministers for a three-year
term. The Board applies the policies of the Government according to
the Authority’s legislation. These policies are conveyed and
supervised by the Minister of Communication and Works.
The Authority is the competent entity to administer, operate and
develop the ports, as well as to facilitate international shipping
aids and issue licences for pilotage.
The Authority has a double role:
(a) It exercises public power
(b) It provides commercial and financial services
In its public power role, the Authority is the owner of the ports
and lighthouses as well as being the regulator of port services
rendered. Within the framework of this role, the Authority:
- Plans, develops and manages port infrastructure.
- Provides licences for the use of port land, and the provision of services in the ports under its jurisdiction.
- Provides licences for the provision of port services and for the construction of works in port areas.
- Provides public/non financial activities.
As well as the above role, the Authority provides commercial/financial/port services. The main ones are:
- Ship pilotage
- Ship towage and mooring
- Use of gantry cranes and large mobile cranes
- Reception, storage and delivery of cargo
Within the jurisdiction of the Authority are the commercial ports of Lemesos (Limassol) and Larnaka, the old port of Lemesos (Limassol), the Paphos port, the Latchi fishing harbour and the oil terminals at Vassiliko and Moni. Further, the lighthouses at Cape Greco, Cape Kiti, Cape Gata, Paphos and Akamas also come under its jurisdiction.

Note: The information provided in the attached documents, which has been taken from the old DLCA, does not match the structure of the new LCA and is therefore provided separately.
Berthing Specifications
For the purchase of affording service to ships/cargoes and port
users, the Authority provides its own modern equipment manned by
its own personnel.
The floating equipment provided by the Authority for facilitating
the mooring of ships is:
Tug Boats:
- "OTHELLO" 1300BHP- Boll pull 16TNS
- "PRINIAS" 3500BHP- Boll pull 35TNS
- "ASPELIA" 3500BHP- Boll pull 35TNS
Pilot Ships:
- "ALASIA"
- "AKAMANTIS"
For auxiliary purposes the Authority provides also the "ACHEON
AKTI" and the multipurpose boat "NEREUS".
The land based equipment for the loading/unloading of cargo
includes:
- Two gantry cranes "Reggianne" of 40 tons hoisting power installed on the eastern quay in 1984.
- Two gantry cranes "Panamax" by "Ceretti Tanfani" of 40 tons hoisting installed at first on the eastern quay and transferred to the western quay in 1996.
- Two gantry cranes "Panamax" by "Ceretti Tanfani" of 45 tons hoisting installed on the souhtern quay in 1996.
- Two mobile cranes DEMAG 27 and DEMAG 28 of 21 tons and 40 tons hoisting power respectively. They are used mainly for loading/unloading of conventional cargo.
- One mobile crane GOTTWALD of 35 tons hoisting power.
- One mobile crane on rails STOTHERT & PIT (Luffing Crane) of 35 tons hoisting power which was installed on the western quay in 1974.
If the needs of the port are not satisfied by the Authority’s equipment then private licensed cranes are mobilized, for which the Authority levies royalties.
For emergency purposes or in the event of interruption of the electricity supply, the Authority equipped itself with a mobile generator of 750KVA capacity and thereafter with yet another three generators of 8KVA, 40KVA and 60KVA capacity, respectively. At Lemesos port there is a medium voltage (11KV) network installed which supplies nine substations through underground cables. Most of the substations of the Authority are on a ring circuit for unimpeded electricity supply.

Port Security
In accordance with EU directives and the Schengen Treaty, as well as the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code), the Authority has proceeded to the following measures at Larnaka Port:
- Checking and control of entry/exit to the Port by Security Guard on a 24 hour basis, seven days a week.
- The control of people entering the port area is done via entry cards issued by the Authority.
- A closed circuit surveillance system has been installed at the port’s entrance, which monitors and records on video tape. The installation of a closed circuit surveillance system monitoring the whole port area and the fence, are at the development process (second phase).
- Installation of a "hot" telephone line between the port’s entrance and the Port Police Station.
- Reinforcement of the fence of the port area.
For port security purposes there are frequent patrols by
Security Guards and by members of the Port and Nautical Police
Force.
The authority has appointed a responsible official for the port’s
security, who is in charge of the Security Guards.

Website information on
Cyprus
In 1999, Cyprus had 12 airports with paved runways. Of them,
seven had runways of lengths between 2,438 and 3,047 metres, one
had a length between 1,524 and 2,437 metres, three had lengths
between 914 and 1524 metres, and one had a length less than 914
metres.
Of the three airports with unpaved runways, two had lengths less
than 914 metres and one had a length between 914 and 1524
metres.
In 1999, Cyprus had six heliports and two international airports:
Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport.
Nicosia International Airport has been closed since 1974.
The main airport of the newly established Republic of Cyprus in
1960 was in Nicosia. It was built during the British Administration
of the island and served both Civil Aviation and the Royal Air
Force (RAF). The development of the Nicosia Airport was linked to
the growing tourist industry and in the late 60's a new terminal
building was commissioned. Unfortunately, the course of events
changed due to the Turkish invasion of 1974 after which, the
premises of the airport came under United Nations administration.
As a result, since February 1975, air traffic was catered for
through the Larnaka Airport which was created at the site of an
airport and landing strip of the RAF which had been abandoned in
the late 40s. The Pafos Airport opened for operations in November
1983 to primarily serve the tourism industry of the region of
Pafos.
As a tourist and island nation, Cyprus is highly dependent on
aviation. The majority of passengers use air transport to arrive to
Cyprus. The rise of tourism in Cyprus unfortunately was not matched
by simultaneous development of airport infrastructure. Often,
problems that would arise during peak hours created a negative
image to the traveling public. It was deemed necessary to further
develop the airports. In order to avoid burdening the national
Budget, and by example of international practice, the Government
decided to involve the private sector in the development of the two
airports in 2001.
The modernization process of the Cypriot airports at Larnaka and
Pafos has progressed with the selection of the private consortium
Hermes Airports, which has undertaken the construction of new
facilities via the method of B.O.T (Build, Operate, Transfer) and
the management of the above airports for a time span of 25 years,
ratified by an agreement that was signed on May 12, 2006. The
consortium had taken over existing facilities after having made
improvements to them, up until the construction of the new
facilities.
Hermes Airports has completed the construction of new facilities at
Larnaka and Pafos in accordance with the agreed time frame and the
general master plan prepared by the company ADP (Aeroport de
Paris). The new terminal building at Larnaka Airport was
commissioned in November 2009 and has a capacity of 7.5 million
passengers per year. Provisions for further expansion and
construction of a second parallel runway are envisaged for the
future if deemed necessary. The new building at Pafos Airport
started operations in November 2008 and the terminal building has a
capacity of 2.7 million passengers per year. The size of the two
terminal buildings is such that with respect to passenger
convenience, and according to the specifications of the
International Air Transport Association (IATA), the level of
service provided is B and C , for Larnaka and Pafos
respectively.
Up to the time after which the management of the airports was
granted to the company Hermes (12/05/2006), the Department of Civil
Aviation was responsible for their operation. In light of the new
state of play, the Department’ s role has been modified, and it now
has a supervisory role in matters concerning Civil Aviation
(Security) and licensing/certification of airports in accordance
with Annex 14 (Aerodromes) of the Treaty of Chicago.
Concurrently, in 2008 the monopoly in the area of ground handling
and ramp aircraft servicing changed following the release of
tenders after which two private consortia undertook the work.
Authorization to conduct the work is valid for seven years and both
the Department and the airport operator have a supervisory role
exercising quality control for the provision of the said
services.
The liberalization of air transport, combined with the development
of the airports is expected to create opportunities to transform
Cyprus into a regional transit hub between Europe and the Middle
East. The modern facilities of the two new airports, which provide
a high level of service, will contribute decisively in order to
achieve this goal.

2.2.1 Cyprus Larnaca International Airport
Cyprus Larnaca International Airport
Larnaca International Airport (Greek: Διεθνής Aερολιμένας
Λάρνακας; Turkish: Larnaka Uluslararası Havaalanı) (IATA: LCA,
ICAO:LCLK) is an international airport located 4 km (2.5 mi)
southwest of Larnaca, Cyprus. Larnaca International Airport is
Cyprus' main international gateway and the larger of the country's
two commercial airports, the other being Paphos International
Airport on the island's southwestern coast. The airport has one
primary passenger terminal. Departures are accommodated on the
upper level, while arrivals at the ground level. A second "VIP
terminal" also exists, which is used for visiting Heads of State,
some private aviation, and for cargo.
The airport utilises a single large apron for all passenger
aircraft. There are 16 jetways (boarding bridges), connecting the
main terminal with aircraft, while there is a provision for
utilization of shuttle buses to convey passengers during hours of
extreme traffic. Infrastructure also features a large engineering
hangar, a cargo terminal, and separate facilities for fuelling and
provisioning light aircraft. There is a second, smaller apron where
cargo aircraft and private aircraft are often parked. There are
also spaces for smaller aircraft for flying schools and privately
owned aircraft separate from the main two aprons.

2.2.2 Cyprus Paphos International Airport
Cyprus Paphos International Airport
Paphos International Airport (Greek: Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Πάφου;
Turkish: Baf Uluslararası Havaalanı) (IATA: PFO, ICAO: LCPH) is
located 6.5 km (4.0 mi) southeast of the city of Paphos, Cyprus. It
is the country's second largest airport, after Larnaca
International Airport. Paphos Airport is commonly used by tourists
on holiday in western Cyprus, providing access to popular resorts
such as Coral Bay, Limassol and Paphos itself.
In May 2006, Hermes Airports Limited took over the construction,
development and operation of both Larnaca and Paphos airports for a
period of 25 years. A new terminal opened at Paphos in November
2008.
According to the airport operator, Paphos Airport served 1,744,011
passengers in 2007. Passenger facilities include 28 check-in desks,
seven gates, 22 aircraft stands, a bank, restaurants, cafeterias,
bars, a duty free shop and a gift shop. Other facilities include a
tourist help desk, car rental, first aid, a baby/parent room and
disabled access facilities.
Refrigerated storage, health officials, and X-ray equipment are
among some of the facilities provided for cargo. Furthermore,
loading platforms and forklifts are also available.
A new four-lane road is being planned to link the airport and
Paphos so passengers and staff can avoid using the B6 Main road and
the E603 secondary road which are often heavily congested.
On 10 January 2012, Ryanair announced they were to open their 50th
base in Paphos. In April 2012, they placed 2 aircraft in Paphos
with 15 new routes, offering over 80 flights a week. Ryanair claim
the reason they opened the base in Paphos was due to reduced
landing charges offered by Hermes' incentive scheme, as well as the
fact that they can easily operate within their standards (e.g.
their typical 25 minutes turnaround time).

4.1 Cyprus Government Contact List
Since the arrival of the first motor cars on the island in 1907, Cyprus has developed one of the most modern road networks in Europe. According to 2002 statistics, the road network in the Republic of Cyprus-administered areas of Cyprus consists of about 7,206 km of paved and 4,387 km of unpaved roads. Although the first motorway in Cyprus, A1, was completed as recently as October 1985, the country already has the most motorway km per capita (38.6 km /100,000 inhabitants) amongst all European Union members. There are no toll paying roads in Cyprus to date.

Road Class and Surface Conditions
Roads and Motorways in Cyprus can be classified into 5 main categories:
- Motorways, 2 lanes per direction, free of any at-grade intersections. They are the most important road network on the island, and the letter "A" is used on their official numbering system. Motorways usually run parallel to the same-number "B class" intercity roads that they replaced and sometimes these roads are even transformed to Motorways (e.g. A3 Motorway and B3 road). While there is no formal announcement about the numbering of new motorways under construction and under planning, it's anticipated that they will have the same number as their current main road. So Limassol - Saittas Motorway will be coded A8 because A is the letter of Motorways and 8 because it will "replace" B8 road.
- Main Roads, Intercity roads, mostly one lane per direction, except sometimes in residential areas up to two lanes. B is the letter used in their official numbering system, with a number up to two digits long. Most of them have been replaced with their same-number Motorway (e.g. Traffic from Nicosia to Limassol now uses the A1 Motorway while in the past B1 road was the main connection between these cities)."B type" roads can be also main avenues within the city limits.
- Roads, secondary road network, mostly connecting rural areas. One lane per direction, always paved. They use the letter "E" in their formal numbering system and they are 3 digits long. First digit is the serial number of the main road that the secondary road begins from (or the secondary road, that begins at another secondary road which begins at a main road etc.) and the last two digits is the serial number of the road. Smaller digits where the main road begins, larger ones near main road's ending.
- Local roads, when coded during the 80's one lane and often dirt roads, today almost completely paved, and waiting for letter re - evaluation. They use "F" in the official coding system, and they are counted in the same way as "E"s are. There is no "E" with the same number as an "F".
- Unclassified roads. They can be "B" and "E" type. The case here is that these roads were constructed after the road network was numbered, so they will remain without a serial number and road signs will remain with gaps until the next road numbering evaluation.
