• For Central South Zone, there are no customs procedures, due to the non-existent of any form of government.
• For Bossaso, Customs clearance is done through the existing relevant authorities. Only a waybill and a request letter are required to initiate the clearing procedure and normally Customs clearance is done within a few hours if not minutes.
• Hargeisa has variable clearing procedures that are slowing down the release of the goods. WFP has obtained a blanket release authorisation of their commodities and UNICEF is trying to obtain the same facility. Without this the clearing could take several months.
