Kuwait postpones new conditions for home delivery until Jan 2023

The new traffic rules implemented by the Ministry of Interior on delivery companies have been pushed forward for 3 months.

The rules were due to take effect on October 1st, but it has now been postponed until January 2023.

The step came in response to calls from small enterprises such as restaurants and coffee shops for putting off the implementation as they depend on delivery firms.

In August, Kuwaiti authorities unveiled a set of requirements for home delivery personnel, including the necessity of having an official health certificate and wearing a uniform.

The new rules also include an obligation to post a designating sticker on the delivery vehicle in coordination with the Kuwait Municipality.

The driver must have a residency permit issued through the employing company. Drivers of delivery cars and motorcycles are obligated to wear the uniform while on duty.

Authorities have warned business owners that breaches could result in licence suspension and other legal action.
