South Africa's Customs hopes the official roll out their new Interfront Customs Border Solution will speed up the flow of good especially into Mozambique. 1pm Friday 16 August 2013.
But the roll out means the current Declaration System will be down from Friday 16 August 2013 from about 13:00.
If cargo is cleared by Friday, trucks will still be able to move through the borders over the weekend.
In terms of system downtime, contingency plans have been set up to ensure that emergency declarations will be processed and cargo enabled to move through the borders on faster.
