- Complaint number
- NTB-000-198
- NTB Type
- 2.8. Lengthy and costly customs clearance procedures
- Complaint
- Discrimination in goods clearance between small and commercial traders.The quantities that a trader carries determine the procedure to be followed in clearing goods through the border. Small traders into Malawi are clogging up the whole system and flooding up the whole market with commercial goods. Commercial traders are pushed out of the system because of the procedures that are applied at the port of entry.
- Status note
- Malawi reported that Customs clearing procedures are the same for small as well as commercial traders, but this could have been a one-off incident. However, now the Revenue Authority has an inland clearing system to overcome delays at the border and Malawi will continuously monitor the situation at the border to ensure smooth flow of goods and people
