The Gambia Revenue Authority says its post-clearance audit unit recovered about 27 million dalasis in 2025, up from 15 million in 2023. Commissioner General Yankuba Darboe says more than 60 large importers have been audited since 2023, according to Gambiana.

According to the Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA), its post-clearance audit unit recovered about 27 million dalasis in 2025, up from 15 million in 2023. Commissioner General Yankuba Darboe gave these figures at the opening of a workshop on revising the regulations and manual for this audit.

Mr Darboe said the unit had audited more than 60 large importers since 2023 and that importers' compliance rate improved markedly between 2024 and 2025. He also said the new texts, drawn up with experts from the World Customs Organization (WCO), must serve as practical tools in daily use, not remain on paper.
