Misrata Chamber to hold workshop on “Advance Consignment Information (ACI)’’ imported cargo tracking and registration system adopted by Libya

Misrata Chamber of Commerce announced yesterday that it is holding an important workshop for members on the implementation of the “Advance Consignment Information (ACI)’’ registration project on Saturday, 21 February at its headquarters.

The ACI project is being implemented directly by the “Libya Trade Network,” the legally authorized entity for its execution.

Misrata Chamber hopes all members will participate in this workshop to contribute to the success of this project, which, it said, is a crucial step in monitoring import and export operations and addressing the economic situation.

Members’ attendance and active participation in the workshop will enhance the project’s success and safeguard the national interest (of reducing LC fraud and safeguarding Libya’s hard currency reserves).
