SFAAZ Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Musariri, said the delays were depriving the country of revenue.
“The introduction of an electronic media system will help to reduce the burden of clearing both imported and exported goods,” Musariri said.
SFAAZ is the only functional voluntary organization which facilitates the importation and exportation of goods in and out of the country.
Last August, the government of Zimbabwe and Zambia signed a bilateral agreement for the Chirundu one-stop border project as the two countries sought to strengthen economic ties in line with the SADC Comesa resolution on economic integration.
The agreement will see the two countries increasing trade by 20%, while saving up to US$450 million through reduced transit times.
