Clearing and forwarding agents want a more comprehensive cargo clearing system than the one mooted by KRA (Courtesy)
Cargo agents are pressing the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to expand the range of processes the new automated system can handle.
Currently, the Integrated Customs Management System (ICMS) can only clear bulk cargo like fertiliser and clinker.
The Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (Kifwa) now says if the system is expanded to include light cargo, it would help end delays at the Port of Mombasa and Inland Container Depots (ICDs). The automated system was launched last year.
