He added that the degree of depreciation on used Cars may not be the same even if the Cars were manufactured same period while stating that the NCS is currently looking into complaints by some importers and agents that there are variations in value and duty, using an improvised system of checking degradation of the used item being imported.

Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Bomodi also faulted the behaviour of some vehicle importers who allegedly adjust odometers on new vehicles to give a false impression of being a used vehicle that has covered high mileage with a view to evading accurate duty payment.
