Customs clearly try and milk each import not only for the applicable hefty import duty, but also canive with port authorities to underhanded delay and Levy as many additional costs as possible. Our company imported an artificial turf container and were automatically flagged as per usual for inspection. Inspection took 17 days to perform and we were levied with demurrage costs and inspection fees. Then the container was placed under Embargo after inspection as they apparently did not have the neccesary expertise on hand to authorize inspection. This is just a ploy to play rope a dope and string you along for another opportunity to squeeze you for a bribe with the threat of more penalties looming. We preempted all of this happening and have cctv footage of 3 customs audit officers doing exactly that. We failed to pay the bribe, so are now waiting to see what further penalties will fraudulently be levied to us to release the Embargo order, so we are able to sell our stock that is sitting in our warehouse. Trying to find a person to deal with there with complaints is impossible, which leads us to believe the entire organization is crooked and not only the odd individual.
