(1) Customs Employees' Demand for Exorbitant Commissions - It appears Customs Officials at times demand payment of exorbitant commission to customs brokers when using Food Transport System. Customs brokers in turn seemingly pass on such commission in the Invoice for customs clearance charge to a firm. As a result the amount of customs clearance charge payable to customs brokers is abnormally high. - It is requested that GOB exercises severe control in engaging customs brokers, and custom brokerage fees.
