A former retired director investor services will give an update to the trade on the following subjects in addition to the BOI facilitation through the Customs ASYCUDA system and the new digital submission the Customs have introduced will be discussed. They include The processes of export/import via BOI; Operations structure; Needed documents; Cancellations and transfers; Subcontracting process; Zonal operations; What are the issues faced by BOI?; Do’s and do not’s; and How to seek help and clarification.
