Jeddah: Customs Authority stops emptying foreign coolers :: Arab News

Due to new technology, foreign refrigeration units can be inspected without unloading at port. This saves the costs of transfer to local coolers including damage to perishable goods in hot weather. Local coolers are unhappy with the loss of business and want the Customs Authority to reverse its decision to adopt the new technology. What's good for consumers isn't always good for business. It is good that the Customs Authority has said it will stand by its decision.
