Customs and excise systems break down

AN erratic customs and excise online system has caused major delays in processing of imports and exports at all the country’s ports of entry.

There were reports that South African Customs and Excise officials have already complained to their Zimbabwean counterparts about the delays that have caused congestion on that country’s export side.

When contacted for comment, Zimbabwe’s Customs and Excise regional manager at Beitbridge, Batsirai Chadzingwa, referred all questions to the head office in Harare where calls went unanswered.
