This was a much needed clearance procedure to reduce clearance times and improve trade. Usually only companies with a good history can use the green channel. Don't think it'll open up avenues for more fraud, rather it'll reduce red tape for companies who have a proven track record. However, key will be to use it with discipline.

This is the critical moment to rigidly control even at the expense of delays etc, but NOT to actually 'relax' entry??????

All these new laws and procedures are not for the betterment of the general public but for people who are loyal to ruling class.

Sri Lanka will be saturated soon with Heroin, Ethyl Alcohole, weapons, drugs used for abortion etc. hence, prices come down on these items and people benefitted. what a wise decision of learned officers. Further, people know the importers also

They bring in laws and then change it within 24 Hrs. Each cargo has to through Red Channel and each time it goes they get 4K to SLC. Even if the item does not hv any duty that needs to be inspected by Red Channel. What a way to earn.
Each day they create new Tariff structure with new HS Codes for items that did not hv VAT are now brought under VAT.
With all these how can they have Green Channel ?

Move looks good, but the reality is they with help of the so called clearing people make more complex to importers. Genuine people suffers and people who used to it knows the ways and means of doing things in Sri Lanka customs.

Customs Department is doing some good job, really appreciable.
