The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), with support of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), has commissioned two new baggage scanners at the Roberts International Airport (RIA). The machines will facilitate the clearance of luggage belonging to arriving passengers at the country’s only international airport. The equipment valued about US$140,000 were donated to the LRA by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) with the aim to strengthen customs operations at the airport. “The LRA is striving to transform tax administration, and this task is not easy. The commissioning of the scanning machines was also accompanied by the certification of LRA customs officers who were trained to operate and manage the equipment.
