Yangon Port Customs Dept to extend hours for container inspections

The Customs Department has announced that due to a large influx of containers at the ports in Yangon Region, they will be working overtime to ensure timely inspections.
In April, the relevant port authorities sent letters to the Customs Department highlighting the abundance of import containers from international vessels during the long Thingyan Festival holiday.
Consequently, the department proposed assigning duties to its staff from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturdays to expedite the inspection of import containers.
According to the report, a total of 50 container vessels from 15 shipping lines arrived in April at the ports in Yangon Region. — ASH/TMT
