Reason
Burundi has requested technical assistance and external financing to implement this measure, but the assistance has not yet been granted.
Fees and charges are currently applied by the State according to the value of the goods and take the form of a percentage. The fee and charge percentage is therefore higher for high-value goods.
The extension is therefore requested so that Burundi can mobilize the funds needed to ensure it is in conformity with the TFA and so that fees and charges are limited to the costs of the services provided.
