The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has seized over 4,700 cases of assorted smuggled alcoholic beverages with a revenue loss of over K4.1 million.
According to a statement issued to the media by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) Corporate Communications Manager Oliver Nzala, the seizure was conducted on February 22, 2026, in Kazungula district.
Mr Nzala explained that the attempted smuggling of the beverages by Five (5) importers was made with forged documents for another Customs Accredited Clients Program (CACP).
The ZRA Corporate Communications Manager further stated that the goods seized include Glenmorange, Four Cousins, Gordon’s Gin, Fat Bastard, Jameson, Malibu and Tequilas.
“The Zambia Revenue Authority would like to remind importers and transporters involved in similar schemes that they risk having their goods and trucks seized and forfeited to the state as well as face prosecution in the Courts of Law. By taking decisive action against these fraudulent activities, the Authority aims to promote legitimate trade. All importers are encouraged to make correct declarations of goods being imported,” he said.
Mr Nzala encouraged the general public and transporters to report any potential cases of smuggling to the nearest Zambia Revenue Authority offices.
