The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) directed operators
of all cross border passenger vehicles to submit a full list of people and
goods in their vehicle at least three hours before arriving at the border.
In a statement issued on Monday, Zimra told all transport
operators to submit in writing a signed declaration, Customs Road Manifest
(Form 1) and produce all documents relating to the goods, freight and journey
as may be requested by the revenue officer.
“The person in charge of any vehicle other than a railway
train, shall submit manifest of the passengers, crew and goods being conveyed
by the vehicle, signed by the person authorised to sign such manifest at the
place of departure for Zimbabwe,” read the statement.
“The manifest must be transmitted to the Zimbabwe Revenue
Authority at the destined port of entry, in the case where the vehicle is an omnibus
or any vehicle conveying goods or passengers for profit, no later than three
hours before arrival of the vehicle at the port of entry or within such shorter
time as the commissioner may allow.” The authority warned that failure to
comply with the provisions of the Customs and Excise Act is an offence
attracting a fine or imprisonment. Herald
