NTB Type
2.6. Additional taxes and other charges  
Complaint
Whenever we have to be attended to by border officers on the Malawian side during the weekend, we are charged a fee which they term 'over-time', amounting to K1,000 Malawian Kwacha, which charge is not levied on the Zambian side.  
Status note
During the 33rd Meeting of the COMESA Customs and Trade meeting held on 12 -15 September 2017, in Antananarivo, Madagascar, Malawi reported that the NTB had been resolved.  
Progress update note
On 13th June 2017, Zambia Focal Point reported that they had made efforts to contact the complainant but did not get any response from them regarding the border agency charging the overtime fee. Zambia therefore suggests that Malawi authorities do a check to find out if any agency is charging those fees so that a decision can be made on this issue.
