And if we are able to do even just 70 percent, it therefore follows that the importation made by those importers would be 70 percent clean. And therefore reduce the problem of smuggling. |
I'm realistic. Fees are being 'fixed.' It's just a matter of how much. But if you make it high enough and painful enough I don't think anybody would continue to get into a business where he doesn't get the return. |
We will lead a composite team of the government agencies and we will start raiding the stores. We will make sure that it's going to be painful. If those smugglers are raided and we find out that they did not pay taxes and duties they may be able to corrupt us but I guarantee you the fees would be so high that it's not going to be worth their while to continue to smuggle. |
