Please note the following:
More than 300 000 of non-complying products valued at R8 million were destroyed at the third destruction of goods function conducted last week in Born Accord, Pretoria. The goods were seized during the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NCRS) raids and a significant percentage of the products were also intercepted at the ports of entry including seaports and inland ports.
According to Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies, in the recent six-week blitz conducted by NCRS in Cape Town, Durban and City Deep, 0.25% of all containers entering the country were inspected and close to R8 million worth of non-compliant products were detected. Davies said to date, approximately R153 million worth of non-compliant and unsafe products had seized and removed.
