Complaint

Alfandegas and SARs are taking too long to verify origin of imported Rajah Medium curry powder after Alfandegas queried origin in September 2009.The importers have to pay deposits and authorisation to get the pay the deposit takes up to 22 days thereby increasing standing time at Frigo from an average of two days to as high as 22 days for some loads. The delay has costed the importers since Rajah curry risks insect infection while at Frigo.  

Status note

Mozambique reported that the process of verification takes maximum 24hrs on the Mozambique side. However, clearing agents appointed by importers delay in submitting required information hence the delays.
