‘Clarify charges on Z’bar goods’
A WEEK after the government announced lowering of charges on goods from Zanzibar at the port of Dar es Salaam, traders have called for clarity on specific goods and rates.
Reports said last week that cargo offloading at the port had been resolved and struck off, one among five contentious union issues whose solutions had been reached by the Joint Committee of the Isles and Union governments examining the issues..
Abdallah Mwinyi, a trader who leads a group of importers delivering goods from Zanzibar, said that apart from minor issues with regard to five or ten kilogrammes of items, bigger cargoes still face challenges in offloading and clearing.
