ZRA has donated 30 motor vehicles which were seized this year to DMMU and three other government institutions.
Other institutions that have benefitted are National Parole Board, Joint Investigations Team, and the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC).
The Authority has also donated other goods and consumables worth K1.5 million to DMMU to assist with the operations of the Unit.
ZRA Commissioner General Dingindani Banda said the purpose of donating and disposing of seized items is to discourage and curtail smuggling.
The donated vehicles and goods were seized this year by the customs service division and the enforcement unit.
They were seized for various offences ranging from attempted smuggling, misclassification and under valuation.
And Mr. Banda said during the handover ceremony that the authority will not relent in it’s enforcement activities as long as the illicit activities are part of society.
