KANDAHAR (Pajhwok): Customs officials in southern Kandahar province have rejected traders’ claims that their medicine imports are delayed for months due to the protracted process of customs clearance.
The Kandahar Customs director says the customs clearance process of medicines has been ongoing normally, but medicines brought without legal documents in the form of parcel and without official license of the company are impounded by the National Food and Drug Authority.
A few days ago, Abdul Basir Piman, head of the Kandahar Pharmaceutical Traders Association, told Pajhwok that 150 vehicles loaded with medicines were awaiting customs clearance over the past two . . .
