CBCA to curb smuggling
THE business community is pinning its hopes on the Consignment Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) programme saying that it would curb smuggling and influx of cheap goods into the country and pave way for local products to be competitive. CBCA is a government initiative to curb the continuous influx of sub-standard products in the country which is expected to begin on Monday next week. Local industries have been negatively affected by the smuggling and importation of cheap products into the country and have called for protectionist policies, like an increase in duty or even a total ban of imports. In an interview with NewsDay, Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce president Davison Norupiri said the business community was in support of the CBCA initiative and hopefully would work well especially for the finished goods as this would be a way to safe guard the Zimbabwe industry. He said the industry was glad that government has exempted raw materials from the list of goods which are expected to be on the CBCA programme
