Grant Description
On September 27, 2011, the Chinese and Liberian governments signed an exchange of notes for the supply of two sets of Nuctech Mobile Container/Vehicle Inspection Systems (#1822).
On July 20, 2012, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia Zhao Jianhua delivered two container scanners to Liberia’s Minister of Finance, Amara M. Konneh.
The scanners will be used by the Bureau of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance to generate government revenues. The cost of the scanners was covered through a $6 million USD grant agreement as part of the September 2011 ETCA.
The scanners will be utilized at two of the country’s major ports of entry, the Freeport of Monrovia and the Roberts International Airport (RIA). The mobile scanners are equipped with technology that allows it users to check containers without opening them. The grant money came from an agreement made in September 2011 (Record ID#1822).
