The second-hand clothing has continued to enter the market and now chews a huge chunk of the clothing market. Zimbabwe Clothing Manufacturers’ Association chairperson, Jeremy Youman said that this shows import licensing is not being applied by the government, nor the correct duties being applied by Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra). Duty is payable at 40 percent plus $2,50 per kg on the value of the clothing. It is irrelevant because they were sourced for free or at a minimal cost.
