The Customs Department is cognizant that business activity has been stymied as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and has resulted in limited movement of goods from the respective warehouses. In an effort to facilitate business activity, the Department will be extending the time period on all expired warehouse goods for a period of three months commencing November 29, 2021. In order to facilitate this process, warehouse keepers are required to submit an application to the Department for the extension identifying all the specific shipments. Additionally, you are also required to submit a disposal plan for the expired goods to enable the department to monitor those which have surpassed the usual two-year period. Please be guided accordingly.
