RA denies Hong Kong car registration ban
The Roads Authority has denied claims that there is a ban on registering vehicles imported from Hong Kong. Spokesperson Hileni Fillemon stated that applications are still being processed at all Natis centres. However, some buyers report being turned away before their applications are completed. The authority noted that many applications contained forged or misrepresented ownership records and vehicle details. Some records could not be confirmed by authorities in Hong Kong.
Buyers still reporting delays The Roads Authority says there is no ban on registering vehicles imported from Hong Kong, but frustrated buyers say Namibian Traffic Information System officials are turning them away before their applications are processed. This comes after the RA has observed many applications of which the vehicle details, ownership records, or ages have been misrepresented, forged, or could not be confirmed by Hong Kong authorities. RA spokesperson Hileni Fillemon yesterday said applications for Hong Kong imports were still being accepted and processed at all Namibian Traffic Information System (Natis) centres, dismissing claims of an outright ban.
