The CAC has brought to the knowledge of port users that there is a Domestic Export Warehouse (DEW) approved by fed govt at Onne

According to him the DEW provides further opportunities for exporters to process and package their exports including packaging while enjoying the seamlessness of export cargo warehouse in Onne directly to vessels.

He said due diligence by regulatory and government agencies functions, including Customs examination shall be conducted in the DEW facility.

Comptroller Mohammed described the DEW facility as a one stop shop emplaced by the Federal Government to promote and encourage export trade which the command has aligned with ahead of it’s full take off.

In a short remake at close of work on Friday, July 1, 2022, Comptroller Auwal Mohammed said “This revenue, seizure and export figures coming at the end of first half of the year attests to a good outcome from our efforts.

“While thanking my officers and men for sticking to the vision of the Comptroller General of Customs,Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd.) and implementing the service mandate without compromise, I want to thank our compliant traders.

“Like I have always said in our parades with officers and meetings with stakeholders, there are numerous advantages attached to being compliant.

“It saves time, raises profit of traders by helping to prevent payment of demand notices and penalty payments by persons trying to cut corners and raises the integrity level of the port user in our profiling system for fast track plus other benefits.

“Compliant traders are our partners in progress. Indeed, we as a service in this Command will continue to lawfully support them .

“It is also expedient to appreciate other agencies of government for their cooperation, intelligence sharing and camaraderie in implementing government policies to enhance national security and economc interests

“I want to urge all our officers to brace up to better performance in the second half of this year and together, let’s achieve outstanding results in all our functions.

“My optimism is high because even deployment of scanners to use, will improve on our efficiency” the CAC concluded.
