No turning back over goods’ pre-inspection
Fake goods have been disastrous to Uganda’s economy, costing the country billions of shillings as the government is denied taxes. Debate over the government’s introduction of the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) program has been raging until June 1, 2013 when it was effected. PVoC system is an initiative geared at getting rid of substandard and fake goods from the market right from the country of origin. The failure to fight this vice will continue costing the country millions of dollars since Uganda will become a dumping ground for the substandard goods.
