X-Ray to raise port capacity to 1K containers per day

Santo Domingo..- The General Directorate of Customs (DGA) presented yesterday a modern x-ray scanner that will allow to verify the merchandise in the containers and detect contraband, in turn expanding the average clearance capacity from 400 to 1,000 containers per day in the Port of Haina.
