'6,000 cars imported through Beitbridge'

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority says it has handled a total of 5 978 imports of second hand vehicles from Japan through Beitbridge Border post between January and March this year.

Zimra's director of legal and corporate affairs Florence Jambwa confirmed the developments last year.

A total of 5 978 vehicles were imported through Beitbridge Border Post between the months of January and March 2015. Most of these vehicles were imported from Japan and South Africa. Other vehicles were also imported from Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Jambwa said the processing of vehicle imports could take less than one hour depending on the availability of all the requisite documents which include invoice, bill of laden and a bill of entry and export from South Africa among others.
