CRFFN member tackles Tanko over claims that freight forwarders are corrupt

According to Chi Ezeh, PAAR as it is, is a function of valuation principles based on general agreement on Trade and Tariffs, quality and quantity of the items, and even the application of rules of origin.
Chi Ezeh further disclosed that the industry practitioners are professionals for whom such a blanket label of unethical conduct is not only false but unpatriotic.
She said the cargo clearing system is a chain involving many agencies, all of whom ensure that best practices are applied in cargo handling towards Customs revenue generation and national security.
Chi Ezeh who is also the Vice President in-charge of seaports at the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), stressed that every ex-factory price given in valuation is always approved by the Customs Area Controller while the physical examination is conducted for vehicle declarations by Customs and all other approved government agencies in the ports.
She posited that it is not possible for all the agencies involved in cargo clearance to standby and allow the false allegations raised in the publication.
“Freight forwarding is an ethical profession where the practitioners have high-level integrity.
“The truth is that these cargoes are being examined. So, does this mean that everyone in the entire supply chain is corrupt?
