SHIPMENTS OVER EASTER HOLIDAY PERIOD
Applications For Export Licences Should Be Made Early
Applications for export licences and certificates covering shipments
during or immediately after the four-day Easter holidays from April 20 to
23 should be made as early as possible, the Director of Commerce and
Industry reminded the public today.
In order to facilitate shipments around this period, the Department
had decided to waive, exceptionally, the normal two clear working days
requirement for applications to be submitted.
Also every endeavour would be made to ensure that applications
for licences or certificates submitted to the Certification and Licensing
Offices by 5 p.m. on Wednesday (April 18) would be issued on Thursday
(April 19) and those received by 5 p.m. on Thursday would be issued on
Tuesday (April 24).
The Director also advised applicants for licences and certificates
to take extra care in ensuring that their applications are properly and
accurately completed in order to minimise delay in the processing of
their applications.
