CARGO RELEASE IN ANGOLA: ORIGINAL BILL OF LADING AGAIN REQUIRED
In June we advised you about a temporary measure by the General Tax Administration (GTA) in Angola, under which Angolan importers could obtain release of certain types of cargo without presenting the original Bills of Lading. This measure has now been revoked.
This means that with immediate effect, cargoes will only be released if the original Bills of Lading are presented. In other words, the normal release procedure applies again in Angola.
