The Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) has taken a decision to ban export of petroleum products without a valid liscence issued by the Authority with immediate effect.

In the past the Authority had an arrangement with the Botswana Unified Revenue Service that allowed a person to export up to 100 litres for own use without the need for an export license.

However, BERA said they have noted that such an arrangement is being abused by the fuel smugglers, hence the decision to rescind it until such a time when better means of addressing fuel smuggling would have been devised.
