South African Revenue Services raids net R60 million in illegal clothing
ARS announced this morning the that it had confiscated 400 tons of clothing and textile goods valued at R60m in Durban over a three day period last week and that this action was aimed at ensuring compliance with the Customs and Excise Act while protecting the local clothing and textile industry against unfair business practices. SARS said a total of 85 stores were raided, of which 47 were closed as they failed to provide proof of import declaration for the goods in their stores.
Comment: The consumer needs to know the names of these stores that we do not support them. I am assuming that most of the clothing confiscated also finds its way into the informal sector.
Congradulations to SARS ...next stop shopping malls.
