- Complaint
- On May 13, 2024 the vehicles of certain economic operators transporting salted fish from South Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania in transit through Uganda destined for the DRC are blocked in Uganda. The reason given by the protection unit was that these vehicles transported small fish whose marketing was formally prohibited in Uganda
- Progress update note
-
The RMC of 17th October 2024, noted that this act is against Trade Facilitation Laws on goods in Transit and urged the Republic of Uganda to respect the free movement of transit cargo and allow transit fish from RSS, Kenya and Tanzania to transit freely to DRC. Transit goods should not be subjected to TBT regulations under the WTO Agreement of Trade Facilitation and EAC Instruments.
The Republic of Uganda committed to follow up with relevant institutions to allow transit trucks carrying fish to go through Ugandan territory without any restrictions or interceptions in the Uganda territory. - Policy or regulatory NTB
