It handles truck haulier licences and transport broker authorisations and their annual renewal, permits for goods carried on non-Lebanese and refrigerated trucks, and the transport tariffs set by official decision.
It also follows up works above and below railway property, and trusteeship and overland foreign trade affairs.
