The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on Tuesday, April 29, issued a notice on the facilitation of stripping of containers for goods destined to Zanzibar and Pemba urging all stakeholders involved to adhere to pre-set conditions on the exports.
In the notice, KRA referred to a 2018 ban on the stripping of containers destined for Zanzibar and Pemba in Tanzania.
The ban was however lifted after consultations between KRA and the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) but under strict conditions.
The conditions included that goods from the Port of Mombasa had to be entered under a Single Customs Territory (SCT) Framework in Zanzibar before they are allowed to be shipped to Pemba and Zanzibar.
