Exemption Regular Regime (Non-Emergency Response): 

[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.

3.1 Cyprus Logistics Infrastructure 

The following sections contain information on the logistics infrastructure of Cyprus

3.2 2.1 Cyprus Port Assessment

3.2.1 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

Cyprus

Version 8 20

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

Cyprus

Version 8 23

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.

3.3 2.2 Cyprus Aviation

3.3.1 Cyprus Aviation 

Key airport information may also be found at:  World Aero Data 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

Cyprus

Version 8 37

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.

3.3.2 Cyprus Larnaca International Airport 

Larnaca International Airport (Greek: A ; Turkish: Larnaka Uluslararas Havaalan) (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.

3.3.3 Cyprus Paphos International Airport

Paphos International Airport (Greek: ; Turkish: Baf Uluslararas Havaalan) (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

Cyprus

Version 8 43

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).

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.

3.4.3 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.

Cyprus

Version 8 48

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.
