Resano Garcia is mainly a transit Customs office. Only goods of a value of less that USD 500 are cleared for home use there using simplified documentation. Goods of a value exceeding USD 500 are declared on a simplified document and transported under Customs control to TIRO. Goods in transit for export through the port of Maputo (TIMAR) are similarly documented and transported under Customs control to the port. Despite the simplified documentation and procedures, the border post is often congested and the clearance of a truck can take as long as three hours depending on the volume of traffic at the time of clearance. This state of affairs is blamed on, inter alia, insufficient opening hours, inadequate space for processing tucks, unrestricted access to the border as a Customs controlled area, and limited office facilities. There are plans to construct a Dry Port at Resano Garcia which the authorities see as a permanent solution to these problems. Although it was said that construction of the Dry Port would start this year, the consultant's view is that it may take up three years before it is commissioned. In the light of these circumstances, there is need for short term solutions to these problems.
