Shippers slate container damage surcharge

Move to outlaw all surcharges By Alan Peat A major shipping line on the SA trade has been condemned by the Cape’s shipper/forwarder fraternity for planning to introduce a contentious container damage surcharge from October 1. The line felt that such a surcharge was justified. “In the current global economy,” it said in a notice to customers, “the high cost and volume of container repairs have forced us to take remedial action against these rising costs. “In light of this, we will be

introducing a ‘container damage surcharge’ for both import and export containers to be invoiced to the consignee and the shipper respectively, at the time of import container release and export bill release.” It has decided to levy the surcharge at the rate of US$30 per TEU for dry containers; US$60 for reefer (refrigerated) containers; and US$45 for special equipment. According to the line, the surcharge will cover any damages to its containers – up to a maximum of US$50 000 – while the container is under the

client's responsibility. “Another iniquitous surcharge – purely a way of raising extra boodle,” said a prominent voice in the Cape seafreight brigade. His complaints were those generally agreed to by the entire international shippers’ community. That surcharges are purely add-on income, and lines should draw up an all-inclusive – and, for users, predictable – freight rate. Also that – in the case of surcharges such as this, or the equally contentious “dirty container surcharge” – a line To page 12

‘The allegedly guilty should be individually invoiced – with adequate proof of their guilt supplied.’

Further blow to clothing and textile exporters A support measure for Southern Africa’s embattled textile and clothing export industries – selling into a global market utterly dominated by the cut-price giants of the South East and East Asia – looks about set to fade away. This, according to commentators, could be the final financial straw that could break a few more backs in the apparel trades.

FTW1726SD

Lawyer Sean Woolfrey, a researcher for the Trade Law Centre of Southern Africa (tralac), talked to FTW on the issue. He said when officials of the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) met to determine the fate of the region’s textiles and clothing industrial development programme – commonly referred to as the duty credit certificate scheme (DCCS) – it was widely

believed that the outcome of this meeting would be the scrapping of the DCCS. “This, in turn, would represent a further blow to clothing and textiles exporters in the region,” he added, “many of whom are already struggling to cope with intense competition from Asian producers.” To date, no clear indication has been given of the outcome of this meeting.

According to Brian Brink, executive director of the Textile Federation, the most recent announcement was that the DCCS would be extended for another year – until March 31, 2010. But, while Brink was told at the meeting with the department of trade and industry (dti) that the DCCS was “in for it”, and that this was its last year, he was wary about accepting this as fact.

“The DCCS has been stopgo since 1994,” he said, “with each year the department grudgingly extending the scheme for one more year.” But it will finally have to be phased-out, as it falls foul of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rulings on export subsidies, and complaint has been made. “This,” said Brink, “because it effectively To page 12

DUTY CALLS A weekly summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and Registration Rebate Item – Gautrain Rail A letter issued by the South African Revenue Service (Sars) advises interested parties of the “Registration under Rebate Item 460.26 – Gautrain Rapid Rail Link Project”. According to Sars, importers participating in the Gautrain project in terms of Rebate Item 460.26 are experiencing uncertainty with respect to the registration with Sars for the provisions of the Rebate Item. The rules, initially published by the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac), required importers to be registered with Sars. However, Sars agreed with Itac that since the registration was never the intention, the registration in terms of Rebate Item 460.26 is no longer a requirement. Itac will therefore be publishing its Revised Guidelines. Trade Remedy Application – Drawn Glass A notice has been published

FTW0808SD

in respect of the initiation of the Sunset Review of the anti-dumping duties on clear drawn and float glass originating in or imported from the People's Republic of China (China) and India. On 22 August 2008 Itac notified all interested parties that unless a duly substantiated request was made by or on behalf of the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) industry indicating that the expiry of the anti-dumping duties against the import of clear drawn and float glass originating in or imported from China and India would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, the anti-dumping duties on clear drawn and float glass originating in or imported from China and India would expire on 04 November 2009. A response to the sunset review application questionnaire was received from PFG Building Glass (Pty) Ltd on 21 April 2009. All interested parties have until 28 September 2009 to provide Itac with its completed

excise legislation. Compiled by Tariff & Trade Intelligence. E-mail: info@tariffandtrade.co.za Importer’s or Exporter’s Questionnaire. Trade Remedy Application – Garlic A notice was published in respect of the initiation of an Interim Review investigation of the anti-dumping duty on fresh or chilled garlic, originating in or imported from China. According to the notice Itac received an application for an Interim Review of the anti-dumping duty on fresh or chilled garlic originating in or imported from China as a result of changed circumstances in respect of dumping and material injury since the last review. The application was lodged by the South African Garlic Growers’ Association (SAGGA), which is the farmer's representative organisation for fresh or chilled garlic in the Sacu. All interested parties have until 28 September 2009 to provide Itac with its completed Importer’s or Exporter’s Questionnaire.

Customs General Refund Errors Guide for July 2009 In an effort to reduce the high refund rejection rate, Sars has decided to produce a monthly guide to inform its external stakeholders of the reasons why the refund/drawback applications are rejected by Sars and the implications this will have on the turnaround time. According to Sars the turnaround time for processing refund claims is five weeks from the date of receipt by a Sars branch office. The Sars Commissioner no longer has discretionary powers to consider “exceptional circumstances” in the event of late submissions of refund or drawback applications or applications that expire due to the negligence of the client. The current rejection rate is 11.43%. Note: This is a noncomprehensive statement of the law. No liability can be accepted for errors and omissions.

Preferential trade agreement under the spotlight By Liesl Venter South Africa and India are committed to a bilateral investment protection agreement that will see not only trade but also investments grow. South African Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies last week met with the Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma to discuss economic relations between South Africa and India. According to Davies, one of the outcomes of the talks was to actively engage on an investment protection agreement. “This will guarantee business investing in either of the two countries that their investments will remain secure and bear fruit.” He said already South Africa was seeing more Indian

companies investing in the country – not just by exporting their goods here, but also by opening manufacturing plants, a move the DTI has welcomed and encouraged. Another key issue under discussion between the two countries is the SACU-India preferential trade agreement that will be discussed in the future. In the meantime a draft will be prepared with key inputs from role players both in government and in the business sector. Sharma said it was also important for both countries that technology transfers take place. “We want to see skills development on both sides. We have trained tens of thousands of people in various domains and we want to extend that training to South Africans as well.”

Importers add ‘ethically produced’ to fruit requirements By Ray Smuts South Africa’s grim legacy of racial separation is thought to be the primary reason for overseas supermarkets demanding “ethically produced fruit” from South African farmers. Stuart Symington, CEO of the Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum (FPEF), believes this country’s suppliers are being unfairly red-flagged by their major retail customers in this regard. “While every effort must be made to address any wrongs of the past, it should not mean that South Africans have a tougher mandate to fulfil than that demanded of their southern hemisphere competitors.” He says the discerning British consumer is now insisting that the likes of Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Morrisons make ethically produced products available on their supermarket shelves and that the High Street source such products by whatever means it takes.

Stuart Symington … ‘What about supermarkets’ dodgy practices?’ Ethical trade has traditionally covered labour concerns on farms, including illegal evictions, race and gender discrimination, improper housing, minimum wages (and living wages), representation at worker level and environmental issues

like the carbon footprint of exported fruit. “I suspect that the focus on South Africa is actually to provide an ethical trade blue-print for all southern hemisphere supplying countries to the UK market in particular,” maintains Symington. “If we can step up to the plate and bat on this one – and I believe we are doing just that under the leadership of our recently appointed ethical trade champion, Colleen Chennells – then it will be a huge win for our industry.” The question of ethical trade across the entire fruit export chain has been brought into question recently, industry experts believing the spotlight is being unfairly concentrated on shoddy labour practices on farms. “But what about the dodgy practices of many supermarkets? There are many supermarket buying practices that have been declared by the UK Competition Commission as not in the public’s interest,

but who is doing anything about this?” Symington does not stop there, however, further questioning the ethics of the US and European governments subsidising their farmers to the collective tune of US$100 million in 2008. “Politicians buy votes with farm subsidies, yet South African farmers are not subsidised a bean. Where is the fairness in this? How can we be expected to compete in overseas markets against subsidised products?” Symington says in a capitalist market, Darwinism should be the order of the day; it’s about survival of the fittest. “You don’t stay in farming because you are subsidised but because you have a marketable product owing to innovative farming practices and excellent business skills.” The insistence of major retail chains on regular audits of their supplying farms has one unfortunate consequence – it comes at a cost to the farmer every time his customer insists

on an audit, on top of the inconvenience of the process. What is more, different supermarkets have different requirements so there are no harmonised standards among many of their auditing criteria. “In reality, a single South African producer will find it difficult to supply more than two UK supermarket chains at a time, perhaps three at the outset, so the worst case scenario is the producers have to accommodate three different standards with three different audit invoices.” “Keeping our eye on continuous improvement for the right reasons is where we should stay focused in ethical trade matters,” says Symington. Improving the lives of workers on farms is morally the correct thing to do. This will lead to sustainable farming business and will set an impressive standard and achieve preferred supplier status. “What more could we want than that?”

Star Alliance under threat? By Martin Rushmere Los Angeles. The future of the world grouping of 21 international airlines that includes South African Airways is under threat, as the US congress has become increasingly alarmed that disguised monopolies are emerging in commercial aviation. The Star Alliance network, which counts United Airlines, US Air and Lufthansa as its biggest members, is the biggest of the three codesharing networks, carrying 400 million passengers a year. Congress is sharply divided on the future of all three. Until now, the three have been given anti-trust immunity, which allows airlines to join and leave without being investigated for cartel and monopoly activity. Senior members of Congress want this to end within three years at the latest and have written to President Obama to enlist his aid. If anti-trust immunity is withdrawn, airlines wanting

US Congress sharply divided on future of code sharing networks. to join an alliance will have to go through such a tedious investigation that they will probably not bother. With political power now held by the Democrats, many politicians are suspicious of the alliance dominance, with some estimates putting the share of trans-Atlantic travel held by the networks at more than 80%. These suspicions have increased with the proposed

alliance between British Airways and American Airlines, which want to join Oneworld, while Continental wants to join Star. Virgin's Richard Branson has stepped in, raising political temperature, by asking Congress to prohibit the BA-AA link. Casting himself as "a minnow", he has ignored his own alliances – leading to accusations of hypocrisy from his old enemy, BA.

Republicans in Congress, being solid supporters of big business, say the airline industry is in such bad shape that the groupings are essential to ensure survival. Delta, now the world's biggest airline, lost $250 million in the second quarter alone and United $320 million. The recession has put the Democrats in a tricky spot. They want the economy to improve

but don't want to encourage the greedy, rich-at-all costs attitude of the banks and finance houses associated with the George Bush days, which led to the financial crash in the first place. The most likely result is that pro-alliance politicians will try to spin out the wrangle in the knowledge that there are so many other urgent issues the issue will be forgotten and it will be back to business as usual.

Saaff gets behind Part 108 training programme By Liesl Venter A specialised skills training programme on Part 108 of the Civil Aviation Regulations is set to be registered by no later this year, according to the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff). The organisation has, along with several other industry role players, been involved in the development of the skills programme that is being facilitated by the Forwarding & Clearing Chamber of TETA. Says Tony d’Almeida, Saaff board member for vocational training, “Feedback from the industry was that companies want to implement skills programmes that deal with aspects of Part 108 and that these must be aligned strategically with the Civil Aviations Authority’s training requirements for Part 108 compliance. Several organisations including Saaff, the South African Express Parcels Association, the Civil Aviation Authority

and the Forwarding & Clearing Chamber of Teta therefore embarked on a consultative process to developing a framework for an industry standard programme on the new legislation.” Part 108, an addition to the Civil Aviation Regulations, was implemented on July 1 this year. This preventative security programme sets out standards and procedures to be implemented to safeguard against acts of unlawful interference with air cargo, and has major impacts for the transporting of air cargo. “Every person involved in the transporting of cargo that is loaded (lands) on an aeroplane needs to be trained on the regulations. The level of training, be it advanced or just an awareness programme, is determined by where you are in the logistics supply chain,” says D’Almeida. The new skills programme has been developed in conjunction with the CAA while the South African

Qualifications Authority has been providing the framework for training material development “The industry is at the moment providing key subject matter experts for the programme development, which will be registered by the end of November. Training on these skills programmes could commence by January 2010.” While there are currently several training courses available on Part 108, the aim of this skills programme is to provide a generic industry programme, says D'Almeida. “Any person who comes out of this training course will know what the responsibilities of up- and down-stream role players are. Instead of each sector mode acting within its own scope we hope to achieve an integrated logistics view to the training on this particular piece of legislation.” The South African Qualifications Authority will register the programme, which must first be approved by the CAA.

SA to join informal Doha trade talks By Liesl Venter South Africa is set to participate in informal talks involving a “rainbow of ministers” to reignite the Doha trade talks. Indian minister of commerce and industry Anand Sharma last week said talks were set to take place in Delhi on September 3 and 4 this year with the

objective of re-engaging and re-energising the process, which has now been stalled for some time. The Doha Development Round, a trade negotiation round of the World Trade Organisation, aimed at lowering trade barriers around the world to allow countries to increase trade globally, started in November 2001 but stalled

Security demands drive logistics costs up last year. South African Minister of Trade and Industry Dr Rob Davies said Sharma had briefed him on the initiative and that South Africa would “definitely be participating in the process”. According to Davies a successful outcome of the Doha round has to be one that is faithful to the developmental mandate.

Transit focuses on next stage of security regulations With Part 108 security regulations now implemented, airfreight consolidator Transit has moved its focus to future developments. “We are now looking at Part 109,” says Transit’s

Jurie Koen, “and that involves more specialised training with regard to the screening and X-raying of cargo and streamlining the X-ray process.” Reflecting on the two months since the inception

of Part 108, Koen says it’s generally been a smooth ride. “That’s due mainly to the fact that Transit was well prepared and worked closely with the Civil Aviation Authority during its preparation.”

By Alan Peat Despite a global tightening of air cargo security, there are still serious shortcomings in airfreight transport chains, according to a joint study commissioned by the World Cargo Centre in Frankfurt, Germany for the International Transfer Centre for Logistics (ITCL) and the Technische Universität (TU) in Berlin. The study highlighted a need for modernisation of systems, particularly by smaller logistics service providers. “Despite newly drafted and tighter EU regulations which close the gaps in control, there are still considerable security shortcomings,” it added. “This is a failing which is not without its consequences, as these weak spots increase the security risk of worldwide transport, which can result in the disruption of logistical

processes – with considerable economic losses.” While the study found that 56% of logistics service providers regarded the lack of security concepts as the biggest security problem, 61% of freight handlers particularly complained of the lack of security awareness of their own staff and the staff of their service providers. Technology and buildings also play a role. The study found that 24% of logistics service providers and 39% of freight handlers considered the surveillance technology in air freight centres to be inadequate. Moreover, 28% and 56% respectively, criticised the entrance controls to freight centres. It added that it was particularly small- and medium-sized logistics service providers that needed to bring their systems more up to date.

‘Going green’ moves to top of shipping line agendas

Carl Lorenz ... committed to developing environmentally friendly solutions. By Alan Peat In the international trade press a main headline of the moment is the impact of environmental concerns on buying and transport patterns in the

shipping industry. This, for the SA market, raises questions like: To what extent will carbon miles affect buying choices in the future and how will it affect export prospects?

Sheldon Vorster

Miguel Vieira

Product manager financial systems

But it’s not likely to have any adverse effect on the local sea trade, although all the major reputable lines on the SA scene are counting the adjustment of services and company policy to match environmental demands as a mainstay in their future planning, FTW was told. The Japanese head office of Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), for example, said that “going green” was a major focus point for the line, and that designing suitable shipboard equipment and machinery and adjusting services to suit these demands were a prime part of their policy. And both Safmarine and Maersk Line are also making high-level scrutiny of both ships and their service deployment, a primary item on their policy agenda. Carl Lorenz, Maersk GM for Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN), confirmed to FTW that a senior executive environmental committee was busy at parent company AP Moller’s

head office in Copenhagen, Denmark – with down-the-line teams contributing their input to the issues. “Of the group’s four pillars of priority,” he said, “the environment is one of the top global concerns of the moment. “In the AP MollerMaersk group we believe in sustainability. In line with our values we are committed to developing environmentally friendly solutions to the challenge on environment and climate change. Not only does this offer a competitive edge to our business, equally important are the benefits it brings to the environment and climate.” Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean Africa Container Lines (OACL) and chairman of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa) agreed, suggesting that all the lines in SA were putting “going green” at the top of their agendas. “There is no doubt,” he said,

“that in the more developed countries (of which we are one), the buying decisions must take cognisance of environmental concerns – like carbon footprints and the swing to organic products. “My shareholders are pushing the need for environmental policy, and we are very aware of these concerns.” Not that he saw the environmental issue being anything but an advantageous argument for the maritime mode of transport – particularly on the coastal seaways. “On the coastal side,” Thomas said, “a ship’s carbon footprint (one of the main environmental issues) is much better than transporting the same load by road – and the footprint that all these extra trucks would make. “So part of our appeal is that we keep cargo off the roads, while environmental strategies are very much part of senior executives’ thinking.”

Konkol feels that companies are spending a great deal of time, resources and money in

Samantha Konkol ... 30% exaggerate their accomplishments. ensuring that their screening, interviewing and selection processes deliver high-quality candidates that will produce

the desired results. “To match this,” said Konkol, “PAG’s interviewing techniques are designed to identify whether candidates are suitably qualified to meet the inherent requirements of the position. “We focus on candidates’ present function and past performance in determining their suitability for the position and concentrate on soft skills, behaviour and attitude, which are key indicators in ensuring an organisational fit.” Konkol told FTW that what a candidate has done in the past is a predictor of what he or she will do in the future and how he or she can be expected to perform in a work situation. “PAG also does extensive reference, criminal and credit checks, and ensures that the interview is legally compliant,” she added.

Statistics reveal 34% of applicants falsify their experience Freight recruitment specialists, EMK Staffing Solutions, have released to FTW statistics compiled for them from their own records by a leading SA personal credentials verification organisation. “This,” said Samantha Konkol, head of parent company PAG’s freight division, “stated that 34% of job applicants falsify their experience, education and abilities; 33% give inaccurate dates of employment; 30% exaggerate their accomplishments; 11% misrepresent their reasons for leaving their previous employer; 10% misrepresent their background; and 9% falsify their qualifications, employers and roles. “In addition, research conducted in SA shows that

25% of workers just show up to collect their salary; 40% feel disconnected from their employers; and 66% do not identify with or feel motivated to drive their employers’ business goals or objectives.” The research also shows that job performance, job satisfaction and retention increase significantly if an organisation hires the right person for the position with a right fit for the company. “So far this year,” Konkol added, “15% of the criminal checks submitted by PAG came back positive; 17% of the qualification checks submitted came back unconfirmed; 30% of the credit history requests came back with a negative history; and 7% of ID verification checks came back as incorrect.”

Custom Made Your regular specialist column on customs-related issues By Quintus van der Merwe

Good intentions – but at what cost? Taxation law amendment rings warning bells The provisions of section 29 of the Taxation Laws Second Amendment bill which is due to introduce a new section 94 to the Customs & Excise Act 94 of 1964 in or about September 2009, rings a warning bell. The proposed amendment probably finds its origin in (the now revoked) section 103(1) of the Income Tax Act and provides that: The Commissioner may on reasonable grounds rule that any scheme entered into or carried out with the effect of avoiding liability for duty or reducing the amount of duty, be disregarded and the Commissioner can determine liability as if such scheme did not exist. The proposed amendment goes on to cast the net widely in respect of what may be interpreted to be a "scheme". The most problematic

FTW0016SP

amendment is that section 94(1) (b)(iii) will provide that where Customs questions whether a scheme exists, it will be presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary that raises a reasonable doubt, that the scheme was entered into to avoid such duty. In other words, the person against whom a ruling is made will bear the onus of proving that the goods were not being entered under a "scheme". This proposed amendment is in our view problematic because while the intention is to catch those that try to classify goods improperly, it: ● Has the potential to cause havoc if Customs continually questions whether goods are not being entered under a scheme. This will cause very substantial delays with the importer having

to try to prove that the goods are not being entered under a scheme. In the meantime importers will be burdened with the costs of detention, demurrage, storage and the like, not to mention the possibility of complications if such goods were to have been delivered to a customer within a specified date; ● Is likely to give rise to a plethora of litigation which is going to be costly for the importers and the revenue authorities; ● Creates a reverse onus where an importer may notionally be faced with criminal prosecution. The constitutionality of this reverse onus must be questioned; ● May prove to be inconsistent with the General Rules of Interpretation for the Classification of Goods

which apply in terms of the Harmonised System issued by the World Customs Organisation and as is provided for under section 47 of the Customs & Excise Act. While one sympathises with the revenue authorities who are tasked with enforcing due compliance on the entry of goods, the continual legislation of regulatory provisions sometimes complicates matters. It brings into serious question whether the vast majority of honest businessmen who drive our economy would be unnecessarily hamstrung by provisions that are being enacted to cast a wide net to catch those acting dishonestly. In reality the General Rules of Interpretation provide sufficient tools if applied properly to enable Customs to classify

goods correctly. The proposed amendments will create uncertainty. Many businessmen that have arranged their affairs according to perfectly acceptable business principles, including the principle that one should be allowed to arrange one's tax affairs as efficiently as possible, will now be faced with a dilemma whether such business might be regarded as a "scheme". The provision which allows Customs a wide and draconian power will be administered at branch level. It is not the Commissioner who will be making decisions on a day to day basis but the officers employed by Customs, many of whom battle to come to grips with the intricacies of interpretation of a complicated Act.

It’s truly a “winter of our discontent” for the Cape West Coast at this time of year as a daunting task faces salvors Svitzer Salvage Africa to come up with the final answer for the damaged MV Long Charity at the port of Saldanha. The 93 000 gross tonne Chinese ore carrier suffered engine failure while departing the port on July 23, holed in the fore section after striking a reef. Nevertheless, the 32-year-old ship, with questions raised over her seaworthiness at the time of the calamity, was successfully refloated 48 hours later by Svitzer. The vessel was fully laden with 170 000 tons of iron ore, destined for Asia, and here lies the problem – much of the cargo has to be off-loaded to lighten the vessel for a thorough inspection of damage. Captain Nick Sloane, general manager and senior salvage master for Svitzer Salvage Africa, told FTW at week’s end his company, armed with a Lloyd’s Open Form entitling it to full operational control of the Long Charity, had chartered two vessels to remove cargo to quayside. First came the 23 660dwt bulker Suomigracht followed by the 17 490dwt vessel Marissa Green, both sourced from West African waters. Problem, however, has been the coast’s inclement weather,

heavy swells and suchlike, aside from a technical glitch or two, which has complicated the operation somewhat. Sloane says about 5 000 of the proposed 60 000 to 70 000 tons of ore has been removed thus far, a process that will be largely dictated by the weather. The end result will amount to either temporary or permanent repairs. The intention is to build at quayside a cofferdam to necessitate such remedial action. Problem, though, is the vessel is too large to be drydocked in a South African port so will have to head elsewhere. “It’s still winter and we expect to be exposed to the elements for another month,” says Sloane. Cargo offloaded is assigned to the multi-purpose terminal, and thereafter to a dedicated stockpile but whether this selfsame cargo will eventually be shipped on the same vessel is a moot point, Sloane pointing to the port’s export commitments taking it through to January. Saldanha harbourmaster, Captain Peter Stowe, says the vessel poses no impediment to the daily comings and goings of vessels, nor has it presented pollution of any kind. Weather aside, the scaleddown Chinese crew of 24-odd will have little to complain about in the food stakes – with farmed mussels and oysters and freshly landed fish in abundance, though noodles may present a bit of a problem.

THE ONLY INDEPENDENT RO-RO CONTAINER SERVICE IN THE TRADE WITH OWN CONNECTING SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE MEDITERRANEAN

tradability of the duty credit certificates,” he said, “then the likelihood of the scheme being renewed seems bleak. “What is not so clear however is whether this would represent a devastating blow to an already embattled segment of the region’s manufacturing capacity or if it would simply prevent a small group of importers dodging import duties.”

From page 1 would be hard put to come up with justifiable figures to support what shippers call “an arbitrary amount” for the fee per container. Shippers are equally adamant that it should not be levied on an “innocent paying for the guilty” basis, but that the allegedly guilty should be individually invoiced – with adequate proof of their guilt supplied. “It will provide additional ammo for our planned approach to government to outlaw surcharges – with the likely exception of baf (bunker adjustment factor) – and other ‘ancillaries’, in respect of liner vessels trading to-and-from SA,” said FTW’s shipping authority. The line, however, had nothing to say. It had not responded to the written complaint from our Cape Town source – which also went to a number of other prominent personalities in the SA shipping and associated industries. And, questioned by FTW on this surcharge issue, the line’s CEO was brief. “No comment,” he said.

From page 1 allows a producer to export goods at cheaper than the domestic price.” Woolfrey agreed. “The DCCS,” he said, “is a Sacuwide export incentive scheme first introduced in 1993. Under the scheme, clothing and textile manufacturers in Sacu member countries can earn duty rebates on imported clothing and textiles based on the value of their exports to non-Sacu destinations.” Used properly, the scheme enhances the international competitiveness of local exporters by providing access to cheaper imported inputs. It also gives them the opportunity to supplement their export production with imported clothing and textile products for their domestic ranges. But the problem, Woolfrey added, is that the DCCs are tradable, and – although the extent of this was curtailed in 2008 following concerns over the abuse of this system – is still the case. “It allows qualifying exporters to sell their certificates to importers who then become the beneficiaries of the duty rebates,” he said. “This aspect of the DCCS has become a source of much consternation, especially in SA.” So, the present story is that the textiles and clothing industrial development programme is set to expire in March next year, Woolfrey added. “And, if no compromise can be reached before then over the extent of the
