What We Export
Tobacco & Cigarette Machinery We Export to Syria
Cigarette Making Machines
The MK8, MK9, Protos 70, and Protos 80 from HAUNI and Molins deliver high-speed tobacco rod formation, precision paper wrapping, and consistent output for commercial cigarette production. Syria's tobacco manufacturers, both state-run and newly entering private operators, will find our HAUNI inventory fully inspected, tested, and documented — new and reconditioned machines available.
Cigarette Packing Machines
HLP and HLP2 cigarette packing machines for high-speed, precision cigarette packaging, covering soft pack, hard pack, cellophane overwrapping, carton packing, and case packing. The HLP is an industry standard worldwide, and we maintain steady availability for Syria-bound shipments.
Filter Rod Making Machines
KDF2, KDF4, and AF series filter rod making machines produce acetate tow filter rods in customizable lengths and diameters, giving Syrian factories full control over filter quality and specifications — an important factor as the domestic market rebuilds.
Tobacco Processing Machines
Syria grows tobacco domestically, which means local factories need robust processing equipment. We supply tobacco cutting machines, conditioning cylinders, rotary dryers, threshing lines, and flavoring drums, handling both Virginia and Oriental tobacco varieties, including Syrian-grown leaf for cigarette and shisha production.
Spare Parts & Accessories
Many Syrian tobacco factories operate legacy equipment that requires reliable spare parts sourcing. We export parts for HAUNI, Molins, Decoufle, Sasib, and other major brands — suction tapes, garniture belts, knives, gears, bearings, sensors, and format parts — keeping your parts pipeline open.
Cigarette Machinery Suppliers in Syria
Syria has a deep-rooted tobacco industry. Tobacco is the country's third most important agricultural crop, with over 60,000 farmers engaged in its cultivation across Latakia, Hama, Homs, and Daraa. The lifting of international sanctions in 2025 and the opening of the tobacco sector to private investment have created significant demand for modern cigarette manufacturing and processing equipment. Civic is positioned to supply the machines that Syria's tobacco industry needs to rebuild and modernize.
Civic Tobacco Machinery has built a supply network spanning the Middle East. Our established client relationships in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar demonstrate our capability to deliver reliable machinery across diverse regulatory and logistical environments. Syria represents a natural expansion of this network as trade channels reopen.
Pakistan and Syria share longstanding diplomatic and trade ties. Pakistan was among the countries that maintained relations with Syria throughout the conflict period. As sanctions have been lifted and commercial trade resumes, Civic is leveraging this relationship to offer Syrian buyers competitive access to quality tobacco machinery. Our pricing consistently undercuts European and East Asian alternatives, which is particularly valuable for Syrian manufacturers operating within tight capital budgets during the reconstruction period.
We understand that Syria's business environment requires flexibility and patience. Civic works with Syrian buyers to accommodate payment structures that reflect the current economic realities, and we provide the technical guidance needed to get machines installed and running even in challenging infrastructure conditions.
Guide to Sourcing Tobacco Machinery in Syria
Importing industrial machinery into Syria is governed by the Syrian Customs Directorate under the Ministry of Finance. Syria is not a GCC member, so the GCC Common External Tariff does not apply. Import duties vary by product category and are set by the Syrian tariff schedule. Industrial machinery typically attracts customs duties in the range of 1% to 10%, though rates may be reduced or waived for equipment imported for approved industrial projects.
The lifting of US sanctions (Executive Order 14312, June 2025), EU sanctions (May 2025), and UK sanctions (April 2025) has removed the major trade barriers that restricted commercial exports to Syria for over a decade. Most civilian-use industrial goods, including tobacco machinery, can now be exported to Syria without special licenses. Buyers should verify that their specific transaction does not involve any remaining sanctioned individuals or entities.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, and an import license from the relevant Syrian ministry. Civic prepares all export documentation from Pakistan and coordinates with freight forwarders who have active shipping routes to Syria's ports at Latakia and Tartus.
Sanctions Relief Opening Syria's Tobacco Sector
United States
Comprehensive sanctions lifted June 2025 under Executive Order 14312, removing the major barrier to US-linked commercial trade with Syria.
European Union
Economic sanctions lifted May 2025, opening EU trade channels for civilian industrial goods including tobacco manufacturing machinery.
United Kingdom
Sanctions relaxed April 2025, aligning with the wider international shift toward normalized trade with Syria.
What to Look for in a Tobacco Machinery Supplier for Syria
Machine Condition & Cost
Capital is scarce in Syria's reconstruction economy. Reconditioned equipment from Civic delivers 40% to 60% cost savings compared to new machines, making it the practical choice for most Syrian manufacturers. Every reconditioned machine in our inventory undergoes full mechanical overhaul, electrical testing, and documented trial runs.
Infrastructure Readiness
Some Syrian factories may need electrical and utility upgrades before installing new equipment. Civic assesses your facility's readiness and advises on any modifications needed. Syria operates on a 220V, 50Hz power system, and all machines we export are verified for compatibility.
Production Capacity
An MK8 suits smaller operations and factory restarts, while a Protos 80 or MK9 delivers the throughput for larger production facilities. Civic helps match machine capacity to your target output and available raw material supply.
Spare Parts Supply Chain
With limited local availability of tobacco machinery spare parts, having a reliable international supplier is essential. Civic maintains a deep inventory and ships parts to Syria via air or sea freight.
Why Choose Civic Tobacco Machinery for Syria

Machinery for Different Production Requirements in Syria
Factory Restart & Modernization
The most common scenario. Existing factories need replacement machines or upgraded equipment to resume production. A reconditioned MK8 or Protos 70 paired with an HLP packing machine and a KDF2 filter rod machine brings a dormant line back to life at minimal cost. Adding a tobacco cutting machine and conditioning cylinder completes the processing section.
New Private-Sector Operations
Established after the 2024 privatization decree, these need complete production line setups. A medium-scale line with a Protos 80 or MK9, multiple HLP2 packing units, and KDF4 filter machines produces 3,000 to 5,000 cigarettes per minute.
Large-Scale Export-Oriented Operations
Deploy multiple parallel lines with centralized tobacco processing and automated packing. Civic provides complete turnkey solutions, from factory layout design to full commissioning.
Used & Reconditioned Machinery for Syria
Reconditioned tobacco machinery is especially relevant for Syria's market, where cost efficiency drives purchasing decisions. Civic sources, refurbishes, and exports used cigarette making machines, packing machines, and processing equipment that deliver near-original performance at a fraction of new equipment cost.
Each machine undergoes complete disassembly, component inspection, genuine parts replacement, electrical testing, and documented trial runs. We share inspection reports and photos with Syrian buyers before shipping, building confidence in every purchase.
A reconditioned Protos cigarette making machine or HLP cigarette packing machine costs 40% to 60% less than new. For Syrian factories restarting production or private investors entering the market on limited capital, reconditioned machines are the smart path forward. We also supply reconditioned tobacco cutting machines, filter rod machines, and conditioning cylinders, all with spare parts support.
