Limassol port

Good morning

Can anyone advise the average length of time a container can sit in limassol before being released to the forwarding agent for delivery

My container arrived in limassol a week ago ive been to customs 3 days ago signed everything all I was good.

Agent says its still there and won't give me any idea of delivery date which I am finding strange

Any suggestions

Probably depends on the backlog they have at the port and in customs. When I had my 40 foot in Dec 2022 it took a week after arrival before PMR were talking about delivery. Temp customs clearance for car and motorcycle was a week. 2 weeks after arrival we had delivery. Still not recvd the full customs clearance on the vehicles lol Paphos customs estimate 12 months after arrival.

Welcome to Cyprus.... Siga siga slowly slowly for everything

Thanks for the reply


Car came a few weeks ago all was fine at customs but still on uk plates until the pink slip arrives in a few months


The container arrived here a week now but stupidly was persuaded from a 20 to a 40 shared .


Was promised no delays or extra handling turns out that doesn't seem the case.


Just can't get a straight answer!


Thanks anyway

On the car reg front it will be a long wait for final clearance. Until you have the cert from customs confirming perm import and duty vat free it cannot be registered. If it is over 5 years old you presumably have had the authorization from DOT to allow import? Only a formality but does again take many months to obtain.
