(1) Vexatiously Complex Customs Clearance Procedures - On air freighting cargoes to Chile, GOC (Government of Chile) requires confirmation approvals on the documents (invoice, packing list) sent to the local agent of the carriers for confirmation and approval, before loading the cargo on to the aircraft. Even if the cargoes are ready for shipment, a few days at minimum are wasted in waiting from the receipt of confirmation of air-cargo booking. It is inefficient, especially troublesome in emergency shipping. - It is requested that GOC repeals prior confirmation protocol and permits expeditious cargo loading and air transport.
