Certificate of Inspection for Letters of Credit for Libya

According to the Resolution No. (96) of 2015 of the Central Bank of Libya and the publication n°9-2020, which regulates the use of foreign exchange for opening documentary Letters of Credit (L/C), all goods exported to Libya under a Letter of Credit require a Certificate of Inspection (CoI) issued by an inspection company. This certificate will be requested by commercial banks upon the opening of the Letter of Credit.
