The extension, contained in a special issue of the gazette notice signed by Treasury Cabinet secretary will see millers enjoy the duty waiver on white maize for three more months. Yellow maize window will be open for one year. The waiver on white maize was supposed to end on July 31 but it has now been extended to September 30. The exemption on yellow maize was supposed to expire on August 31 but this has been pushed to June 30, 2018. Earlier gazette notice giving a window of about five months for the importation of the produce. Following the publication of gazette notice number 3575 of 2017, the Cabinet secretary for the National Treasury amends part A of the schedule in paragraph two by deleting the expression August 31, 2017, and substituting therefor the expression with June 30, 2018.
