Uganda is intercepting fish export from Kenya which is in transit to DRC on grounds that Kenya is transferring immature fish that is not accepted in Uganda.
The fish protection unit in Uganda opens the goods on transit in the sealed containers which is against the provisions of goods in transit. - 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
