Will something come out as to import of Bikes? Time will tell.

From the article:

Meanwhile, all the information relevant to import duties will be made public from September 1

So.. so far, all the information wasn't public??? That's ridiculous. But it goes a long way towards explaining the completely effed up customs system in the LOS.

Oh, I should have read the whole article:

"My vision is for the department to transform from a 'duty collector to a trade facilitator'. The world is moving toward a free-trade environment and we have to adjust to those realities," he said.

"With these reforms, I expect the Customs Department to increase its revenues for the state by around 15 per cent," Pradit said.

The change is, nothing is going to change.
