The Durban Container Terminal has extended the free storage period for containers following a massive backlog last week which saw trucks waiting for up to nine hours to load containers.

FTW was alerted to the crisis by Gerald Naidu of SA Inland Logistics. “The situation at the port is not workable, trucks have been standing for up to nine hours to load containers and this is causing a major impact on service delivery to importers and exporters,” he told FTW.

Acknowledging the problem, terminal executive manager Moshe Motlohi told FTW that several measures had been put in place. “The terminal extended the free storage period from the morning of Friday February 25 and the industry has been informed via an update issued by the terminal’s call centre,” he told FTW.

The arrival of several large vessels appears to have been the root cause,

according to Motlohi.“The large vessel

MSC Messina arrived on February 21 carrying 1 738 containers. Two days later another large vessel, MSC Paris, arrived carrying 1 200 containers and both vessels were being served at berth 108 serviced by Tower 109.

The SA Revenue Service will enter into service-level agreements with its customers committing to time frames for cargo stops when its Customs modernisation programme shifts into high gear.

And it’s not far off, with Sars setting a May deadline for implementation of the next phase of the programme.

But it will be a two-way street demanding equal co-operation from traders in terms of providing the necessary documentation electronically and fulfilling all Customs obligations in good time.

It’s all part of the relentless march to a paperless environment, which is gaining momentum following the launch in November last year of phase one of the programme.

That involved the implementation of ‘procedure codes’ to replace the traditional

‘purpose codes’ – a switch that was accomplished with minor disruption thanks to the collaborative effort between Sars and the industry.

And this has been a key element of its success so far, says Sars executive manager Beyers Theron.

“From the outset, we determined several key programmes we believed would achieve our objectives,” he told FTW. “The first is the preferred trader programme.

“We are building a much stronger accreditation scheme which we call Trusted Trader.” The current system, he says, is too open and loose. “It was easier to get people accredited and we would offer a 30-day timeline to give you a status.

“With the new scheme our view is that even if it takes us two to three years we will work with the trader to get him to a level of compliance – it could be two to three months or two to three years, but we’re not giving out accreditation

unless we are sure the trader is compliant and can be dealt with in a separate service channel associated with significant benefit.

“We will probably go live with the first set of trusted traders around May this year.”

Declaration processing was also prioritised from the outset.

“We have redesigned the whole process and aligned more with international instruments like WCO Safe and Kyoto. Bringing in the CPC codes was part of this process.

“We have changed a significant number of business rules in the system and worked with service providers to trade and Saaff all along,” says Theron.

Customer Satisfaction SurveyOn February 22 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) advised by letter that in an effort to improve its service, the Customer Satisfaction Survey had been adapted to be more efficient.

This survey affords clients the opportunity to raise issues encountered in different business areas in Customs operations as well as rate the quality of the service delivered. The results of the survey are being published on a quarterly basis. Issues raised are escalated and addressed by the applicable managers. Sars has urged all its clients to take part in the electronic survey.

To access the survey, log onto www.sars.gov.za/home.asp?pid=64728.

The Road Freight Association (RFA) has questioned the rush to pay back a R20 billion loan for the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) saying its calculations have shown that a mere 12 cents per kilometre per vehicle will still allow the loan to be paid back – only it will take 20 years and not five.

“What is the rush? Why do we have to pay it back over five years? Why can’t we pay it back over 20 years like everywhere else in the world,” asked RFA spokesman Gavin Kelly. “We have looked at the this and found that at 12 cents per kilometre we will still pay back the loan, but it will be affordable to the road user.”

Welcoming the announcement by the Minister of Transport, Sibusiso Ndebele, that the gazetted toll tariff would be suspended until further notice, Kelly said this was only a short reprieve.

“Let us be honest, we are

going to pay tolls. The matter we want to engage in is how they got to 66 cents per kilometre for light vehicles and R3.96 for trucks. The cost to build a new six-lane freeway has been estimated at R80 million per kilometre yet we are being charged R140 million for a mere two lanes and a long-overdue resurfacing with little explanation other than ‘it’s a done deal’,” he said.

A task team will be appointed by no later than the end of March to investigate the entire financial model on which the R20 billion was borrowed to upgrade the freeways in Gauteng, according to Ndebele.

Kelly told FTW there was no doubt that the RFA wanted to be part of that task team. “We don’t know how this task team will be put together but it is essential that our voice be heard and we put our viewpoint across.”

He said the RFA would not stand back from any action addressing the toll system

planned for Gauteng. “We are currently involved in meeting with various role-players to discuss our way forward.”

The new tolling system for Gauteng, which will see 42 electronic toll gates erected on the N1, N3, N12, N17, R21 and the R24, will be rolled out in the province in June this year. The tolls that will cover a distance of about 185km will severely impact the economy, according to Kelly.

“Current calculations indicate that truck operator costs will increase between 23 and 20% depending on the frequency of trips, times travelled and the routes taken. If the operator is unable to pass this on to his customers

it will result in a 10 to 20% loss to his bottom line which will result in a lot of small operators folding.”

Kelly said most operators would however pass the increases over to their customers. “What is the light motor vehicle driver going to do? We are fighting for the ordinary man on the street as well.”

He said it was estimated the most impact would be on the 8-ton freight delivery vehicles. “Our calculations show that a basic foodstuff like bread delivered in Johannesburg from Germiston will see a 16 to 20% increase after the e-tag discount has been taken into account.”

Express Air Services has rebranded and will in future trade as BidAir Cargo.

“This highlights our position within the Bidvest Group and the benefits that flow from being part of an international investment corporate,” a spokesman told FTW. “These include financial muscle, access to global markets and business stability.”

BidAir Cargo has invested substantially in infrastructure, having recently moved to five consolidated terminals at OR Tambo.

The company is an Empowerdex accredited BBBEE Level 3 Value Adding Supplier.

Why the rush to pay back GFIP loan? EAS rebrands

RFA believes 12c/km per vehicle will still allow the loan to be paid back.

Importers can expect Customs to get tougher as government counters what it sees as the “serious threat” of tax evasion, finance minister Pravin Gordhan said.

“Recently, customs officers with the support of the police impounded nearly 3 000 illegally imported second-hand vehicles, two significant tobacco smuggling rings have been snuffed out and

a tobacco manufacturer has been shut down in the last month.

“We are also, in conjunction with the tobacco industry, investigating a new method of marking and authenticating legal cigarettes with a counterfeit-proof digital system to replace the current ‘diamond mark’.

“The sector most visibly affected by the illicit

economy in recent years has been the clothing and textile industry, resulting in significant loss of jobs in local manufacturing plants.

“In the coming months a multidisciplinary task team comprising representatives of the manufacturing, importing and retail industries and a range of public sector stakeholders, will begin interventions across the entire supply chain to clamp down on

illicit clothing and textiles imports,” he said.

Over 200 taxpayers have been convicted of fraud and tax evasion over the past six months thanks to joint operations by the police, the prosecuting authority, the Financial Intelligence Centre and Sars.

2011 BUDGET ROUND-UP

Finance minister Pravin Gordhan says his 2011 budget “expands investment in modernising our infrastructure and transport logistics”.

Consolidated government transport spending will amount to R66 billion next year, rising to R80 billion by 2013/14.

This includes R3.8-billion for maintenance of the coal haulage road network,

financed from the increased levy on electricity collected from Eskom, and an additional R1.5 billion to provinces for road maintenance and weighbridges.

In total, government will invest R800 billion over the next three years on new power stations, road networks, dams and water supply pipelines, rail and ports facilities, schools, hospitals and government buildings.

Major projects under way include the Medupi power station, which will generate 4 700 MW at a projected investment cost of R125-billion, the R23-billion Transnet multi-product pipeline “which will secure our inland fuel supplies,” and “the R21-billion freeway improvement scheme, which has already significantly eased congestion on Gauteng roads,” he said.

FTW’s Ed Richardson provides an overview of the salient issues for the freight industry covered in the Budget speech delivered last Wednesday by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.

Finance minister Pravin Gordhan raised the cost of fuel by 18 cents a litre while promising to invest in public transport in his 2011 budget speech.

The general fuel levy will increase by 10 cents a litre on both petrol and diesel on April 6, while the Road Accident Fund levy will be increased by eight cents, to 80

cents a litre.This will raise the cost of

transporting both freight and people.

Gordhan outlined plans to provide commuters with

alternatives to cars and taxis.“An efficient and cost-

effective public transport system is crucial because the majority of our people live too far from where job

opportunities are,” he said.The Passenger Rail Agency

of South Africa will be investing R86-billion over 18 years to replace its commuter fleet.

Pravin Gordhan ... ‘Task team will begin interventions to

clamp down on illicit clothing and textiles imports.’

Speculation that the Reserve Bank has been intervening to prevent the rand from getting stronger was confirmed by finance minister Pravin Gordhan.

He said measures were introduced in October last year after government had recognised the impact of rand strength on the manufacturing industry in particular.

“Government will continue to assist the Reserve Bank to accumulate foreign exchange reserves when market conditions are favourable and engage in foreign currency swaps to moderate the effect of capital flows on the exchange rate.”

Many sceptics believe China’s interest in Africa is oil and resources-driven and continue to watch the developing relationship with raised eyebrows, but Africans for the most part have welcomed the Chinese with open arms.

According to Professor Garth Shelton from the University of the Witwatersrand, China has benefited the pockets of ordinary Africans who are happy to see trade with the East grow.

“Consumers across Africa are welcoming the increased trade with China and the East. In many cases goods are now affordable to them and they are in a position to buy necessary products they could

never afford before.”He said it was important

that the very “forward-looking relationship” be unpacked to ensure Africans truly benefited and the sceptics were proved wrong.

“The political agenda has been set and the agreements are in place. It is now time for business to develop and implement deals that will produce outcomes to benefit the people of Africa.”

Shelton said with the right infrastructure in place there was no reason why SADC could not become a globally competitive region.

“A good example would be to get China to build railroads in the SADC region to not only open up trade routes, but allow for the free and efficient movement of goods.

“Africa must take responsibility in this relationship and ensure they are empowered to accelerate the foreign direct investment from China to address the trade deficit and see more exports from Africa to China to strengthen their own capacity.”

By Liesl Venter

The relationship between South Africa and China has come a long way in 13 years, but much more can be expected as China becomes one of the world’s most powerful players.

With the value of trade between the two countries in the region of R120 billion, South Africa has openly declared its commitment to China and has invited Chinese companies to open up shop in South Africa. There’s also a strong commitment to increase exports to the East.

According to Nitesh Dullabh, director and general manager: Africa for the Beijing Axis, exports, which are in the range of R50 billion, will be the

focus as we move into 2011. “We must increase this figure.”

He said we could also expect to see more Chinese companies entering the South African and sub-Saharan market. “Currently there are more than 800 state-owned Chinese firms active in Africa.”

South African exporters keen to enter the Chinese market need to ensure they have the right strategy in place if they want to achieve any measure of success, said Kobus van der Wath, founder and group managing director of The Beijing Axis.

“China is set for continued rapid economic growth, having become the second largest economy last year,” he said at a conference in Johannesburg recently. “The question now is really when it will surpass the US to become the largest economy in the world – and as a business it is important to get one’s head around this. But it is not an easy market to penetrate, it needs much thought and a well-planned strategy.”

According to Van der

Wath, businesses in South Africa need to ask themselves if they have the right strategy in place to take China to the centre of their radar screen.

“You must get the basics right and that starts at the initial engagement process. The GDP in some Chinese provinces is bigger than that of small countries in the world. It is geographically huge with a different culture – and language is but one of the major barriers.”

He said those thinking this was a wave they could just jump on and ride would be sorely disappointed. “You must understand the Chinese market and for that intelligence, due diligence and a strong relationship is needed.”

Van der Wath advised companies to break their strategy into manageable components. “Be systematic

in your approach. Be surgical and be tactical.”

He said it was also often not possible to find answers on the Internet. “Those serious about importing or exporting from China will soon realise one must visit the country to really understand what it is all about. Don’t make the mistake of thinking China is nothing but a mass producer of low quality products or a plastic toy maker – you will be left behind.”

The freight route from KwaZulu/Natal to Maputo is due to get faster and shorter by 2014, which is the date set by the government of Mozambique to tar the 130-kilometre stretch, which is currently only passable with a 4x4 vehicle.

Nuno Mapossa of the

Mozambique Investment Promotion Centre is quoted by a number of publications as saying that the government wants to build a toll road within the next three years.

This will be a boost to the Port of Maputo, as it will become more accessible for KwaZulu/Natal North Coast exports and imports.

Supermarket chains have some way to go before changing the buying habits of Zimbabwean consumers, according to the Zimbabwe All Media Products Survey (ZAMPS) for the fourth quarter of 2010 commissioned by the Zimbabwe Advertising Research Foundation (ZARF).

Some 77% of shoppers still buy their meat from butcheries, according to the

survey.It also found that open

markets were the preferred outlets for the purchase of fruits and vegetables (63%), with informal traders or hawkers commanding an 11% share of this market and fruit and vegetable shops in high density suburbs getting a 6% slice of the market.

Spar led its rivals in this market with a 6% share, with OK Supermarkets and TM Supermarkets each owning 2% of the market.

The market in the Western Cape was a profitable base for GMA Logistics in 2010, according to Ernest Burger, Cape Town branch manager.

“We did well,” he told FTW, “reaching our goals in growth expectations both from a financial and customer base point of view.”

Burger expressed positive expectations for 2011, but warned that various economic indicators told him not to expect too much.

In developing its Western Cape facilities and products, GMA Logistics has concentrated on supplying services to a wide spectrum of the supply chain.

“Logistics in SA is quite fragmented,” said Burger. “The general clearing and forwarding

company’s services hardly represent more that 1% of the total logics chain from manufacturing to consumer.

“At GMA Logistics we do a lot better.”

The company’s latest commitment to the Cape Province is part of the proof of this statement. A state-of-the-art 600-square metre office block and 2 300-square metre warehousing facility has been developed at Airport City. It offers a fully operational general cargo warehouse, a bonded facility and an excise bonded facility especially aimed at supporting the wine industry.

It is also fully geared, with under-cover dock levellers to handle both containerised and general cargo with the use of fork lifts.

“One must aim to get involved in all avenues of the logistics chain,” said Burger, “thereby creating new revenue streams.

Despite achieving internal efficiency, Burger stressed that external factors inf luenced the company’s business environment.

“One of these factors,” he said, “is the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), like Transnet, which we need to work with on a daily basis. I agree with certain views that the SOEs have lost their focus on serving the country and helping to facilitate business and service delivery.

“It seems that there is more emphasis on profiteering and filling state coffers.

“I believe that an SOE should deliver services

to our country at the cheapest possible price, making just enough to sustain growth and expansion.”

The Danish shipping company, AP Moller-Maersk, managed to make a tidy profit of US$5billion in 2010, the group announced.

This was a healthy recovery from 2009, when it recorded its first full year net loss of US$1.02bn, as its core container shipping business plunged US$2.1bn into the red from a US$583million profit in the previous year.

Its container section also recovered rather dramatically from its disastrous financial performance in 2009. The container activities delivered a profit of US$2.6bn for 2010. It also performed nicely in comparison to a profit of only US$205-m in 2008, where, the group noted, conditions were comparable to 2010.

South Africa’s failing infrastructure remains a major concern for supply chain and logistics managers of big and small companies, according to the ninth annual Barloworld Logistics supplychainforesight survey.

Discussing the survey, Johan Dekker, head of solution development at Barloworld Logistics, said not much change had been noted in the responses when compared to the 2010 survey.

“The sensational and alarming extent of our road to rail freight imbalance was highlighted in last year’s study, but not much has changed this year. A similar tale of woe for the competitiveness of SA Inc emerged this year,” he said.

With 60% of respondents expecting increases in their

freight volumes this year, most said they would move this cargo by road due to a lack of confidence in rail. Only a 25% increase is expected in rail freight volumes.

At least 80% of the respondents said they moved less than 10% of their freight by rail.

“While there is general disenchantment, and even anger, among the private sector about their powerlessness to do anything to improve the quality of the country’s infrastructure, they are nevertheless willing to engage with government to find solutions.”

Dekker said the one positive highlighted by the survey was that the private sector was, in fact, urgently wanting to engage with Transnet in an effort to find solutions for the parastatal to take care of intermodal infrastructure in

rail and ports.“We found very low level

engagement was currently taking place, along with a low level of understanding of Transnet’s partnership strategy, but there is evidence of apathy about taking corrective action.”

At least 27% of respondents indicated they were not affected by Transnet’s shortcomings, while a significant finding was the lack of confidence in Transnet and its strategies.

Dekker said with some R470 billion earmarked by government for road and rail infrastructure it was clear, judging by the survey, that definite programmes needed to be communicated to private business which agrees that there is a need for freight capacity on rail.

“Industry, however, has no confidence that investment

by Transnet is happening in an effective and efficient way, and they are not willing to back any of the parastatal’s efforts with their own investment. This is not only about communication between the two parties being inadequate, it is about a crisis of confidence,” he said.

Siyabonga Gama is back on the Transnet executive committee.

He returned to the parastatal last Wednesday following his suspension in September 2009 over allegations of a serious breach of governance requirements in respect of two procurement contracts. He was fired in June 2010.

Gama will be based in the chairman’s office until the new group chief executive Brian Molefe finalises his executive team.

“The terms of the agreement are confidential. This is in line with Transnet’s policies governing employer/employee relations,” according to a board statement.

While the new Merchant Shipping (Safe Containers Convention) Bill is welcomed by the freight and shipping industries, policing it is likely to be a bit of a problem, according to maritime lawyer, Andrew Robinson, a director of Deneys Reitz.

Once promulgated, he told FTW, all responsibility for implementing the requirements of the convention will be held by the minister of transport. Previously, the functions concerned fell within the ambit of the department of trade and industry.

Meantime, the regulations made in terms of the proposed new legislation will be administered and enforced by the SA Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa).

“The only real question,” Robinson added, “is how Samsa intends carrying out its regulatory functions.”

Not that he’s suggesting that the safety authority doesn’t have the capabilities or expertise.

“But,” he said, “it does seem like a whole lot of work, and Samsa’s resources are already pretty stretched.”

The bill, which is to fulfil SA’s obligations as a contracting party to the 1972 international convention for safe containers, does create a rather significant area of responsibility for the authority.

Robinson told FTW that, in seeking to give effect to the International Convention for Safe Containers, the bill demands:

Maintaining a high level •of safety of human life in the transport industry and handling of containers by providing generally acceptable test procedures and related strength requirements; facilitating international •transport of containers

by providing uniform international safety regulations; repealing the International •Convention for Safe Containers Act, 1985.He noted that the

provisions of the bill applied to international shipping containers of a prescribed minimum size with devices fitted to allow for handling, securing and stacking.

“Once a container has been approved and plated,” Robinson said, “it should be possible to transport it internationally by land and sea ‘with the minimum of safety control formalities’. This is in

accordance with the principle of ‘reciprocal acceptance’ of safety-approved containers.

Given all this, just how Samsa manages to cope with its responsibilities with its already restricted staff numbers and resources is the question.

“In terms of the bill,” Robinson added, “Samsa is empowered to designate inspectors and to direct inquiries into certain accidents and incidents. The regulations to the bill also establish requirements as to the approval, maintenance, repair, inspection, detention and disposal of containers.”

Questions raised over policing of ‘safe containers’ bill

Industry networking tradition relaunched

Carriage and Insurance Paid To or CIP (named place of destination) Incoterms®2010 is the fourth of the Incoterms for the class “Rules for any Mode or Modes of Transport”, which means that it could be used irrespective of the selected mode of transport, and could even be used for more than one mode of transport.

According to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), CIP at a named place of destination, means that “the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place (if any such place is agreed by the parties) and that the seller must contract for and pay the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination”.

In addition, the seller also contracts for insurance. Such insurance must cover the buyer’s risk of loss or damage to the goods during the carriage. It is critical to remember that the seller is only required to obtain minimum cover. Should the buyer require additional insurance, then he/she should either contract the buyer to do this, or arrange his/her own additional insurance.

According to the ICC’s “Guidance Note” for Carriage and Insurance Paid To or CIP when this term or Carriage Paid to

(CPT), Cost and Freight (CFR) or Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF) are used, the seller fulfils its delivery obligation once it hands the goods to the carrier.

The ICC’s “Guidance Note” for Carriage Paid To or CPT states two critical points, since the risk passes and costs are transferred at different places. As a consequence the contract of sale should be explicit (very) with respect to the place of delivery as well as to the named place of destination.

Another matter that needs to be explicit is the point within the agreed place of destination. The reason is that the costs to that point are for the seller’s account.

In accordance with this term, the seller is required to, where applicable, clear the goods for export. The seller does, however, not have any obligation with respect to the clearance of imported goods.

In essence the seller fulfils its obligation with respect to delivery when it hands the goods over to the carrier and not when the goods reach the place of destination.

In next week’s issue we will define Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP) – The Seller’s Obligations.

The airlines have slammed the proposed increases in the airport passenger tax announced by minister of finance, Pravin Gordhan, in his budget speech.

Effective from October 1, airport taxes on international

flights from SA will increase by 27%, and tax for travel on flights from SA to Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) states by 25%.

“The airline industry is currently struggling with the impact of cost increases brought about by tariff increases such as those from

state-owned enterprises (SOEs) like the Airports Company of SA,” said Airline Association of Southern Africa CE, Chris Zweigenthal.

This in addition to increased Air Traffic and Navigation Services charges as well as escalating fuel costs.

MSC Paris and MSC Lucy (300 containers). The tower capacity is 24 bays for 24 trucks. This is more than sufficient in busy circumstances, although the ideal scenario would be to allow 12 to 18 hours in between servicing vessels. We had planned sufficiently to accommodate the vessels, but Tower 109 came under serious pressure because of congestion – and this was compounded by a number of factors.

“The bulk facility at Island View Storage had been shut down due to rain the day before and trucks were beginning to build up and block access to DCT Pier 1 on Wednesday February 23.

“There is ongoing construction in the same vicinity on lower Bayhead Road, which creates a single traffic lane over the Langeberg Road traffic light. This caused congestion right along Bayhead up to South Coast Road. And, in

addition, there was a high volume of long-distance trucks after the end of the truckers’ strike.”

Naidu told FTW on Monday morning when this issue went to press that the situation had improved over the weekend and that the extension had helped.

But he called for improved communication from the port when problems like this arose.

“They need to tell us to hold back our vehicles and deploy our resources elsewhere rather than adding to the congestion,” he said.

According to sources, additional security had to be called in as frustrated drivers vented their anger.

“Long-distance drivers are paid per trip,” Naidu told FTW. “Trucks that were loaded on Thursday came out so late they weren’t able to run up to Gauteng, which was one less trip for them. And coming on the back of the strike where operations were hampered, this was an additional blow.”

features will be introduced.“For example, we will hold

ourselves accountable for time frames so if we decide to stop your consignment and we do not check that consignment in a specific time frame we will give the trader the benefit of the doubt and release the consignment on condition the shipment poses a lesser risk.

“However, that release doesn’t mean we won’t check the consignment – we’ll check it in a post-clearance environment.”

Sars will also have the facility to track every move within a trade transaction.

“If we have all the data upfront – manifest data, client data and declaration – we’ll be able to process the declaration prior to arrival of goods in the country. We won’t necessarily give you a release immediately as there are still some legal issues to be addressed with regard to the point of release, but if you’re a preferred trader we’ll give you everything that you require upfront so you’ll have a seamless process as far as possible.

“If we decide to stop your cargo, the sooner you send us your supporting documents –

and preferably electronically – the faster we can start the inspection process. Every entity in the supply chain and everyone’s piece of the puzzle can be tracked. If we get the manifest late we’ll be able to flag that. If a consignment is held up by customs, the system will advise us and we will take the necessary action – and if you complain about a consignment we’ll find where in the chain the problem was. So, if you take three or four days to provide supporting documents, we’ll know it was your fault and we’ll advise you accordingly.”

Moves are also afoot to extend electronic reach to other state departments.

For example, in the passenger environment, Sars is working on projects with Home Affairs and other government agencies to optimise process efficiencies and capitalise on areas of collaboration.

A similar system could be rolled over to the trade environment with Customs working more closely with the likes of government and regulating agencies.

“Everything in that pipeline that we track will be measured

in time and every time we go over the service-level agreement time we will give the trader the benefit of the doubt.

“But trade has to do its part as well. If the shipper does not submit advanced and electronic manifests, and the agent does not deliver a declaration in good time, and if he doesn’t have his supporting documents within the agreed time frame, the system will not benefit at all. So, the more data upfront from all relevant trade parties, the faster Customs will service you.”
