Mr Simiyu said: “KRA didn’t inform us about the increased tariffs. “Clearing and forwarding agents can no longer afford to clear imported goods at the port owing to the high tariffs which were imposed by KRA two months ago. Mr Nassir said the increased tariffs had made it difficult for agents to clear cargo at the Port. "The increased tariffs has made the clearing of cargo at our port more expensive compared to the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. With reduction of tariffs, Mr Mwinyi said cargo clearing will be affordable.
