Chinese Government provides $10.5 million grant for acquisition of customs inspection scanning equipment

On 18 October, 2013 the Chinese Government donated three mobile container scanners worth $10.5 million USD to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (See: 'Ambassador Lin Lin Attends Handover Ceremony of Container Inspection Equipment'; 'China donates three mobile container scanners to Zimra'). The Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Lin Lin, gave the scanners to Mr. Chinamasa, the Zimbabwean Minister of Finance, during a ceremony at Manica Freight in Lochinvar, Harare (See: 'Ambassador Lin Lin Attends Handover Ceremony of Container Inspection Equipment'; 'No New Money for Zim'). The scanners will be used to expedite customs clearance and counter smuggling of goods and harmful substances at container docks in Zimbabwe. This project is completed.
