My brother- inlaw who is haitian sent a school bus to Haiti which is valued at and bought for $3,500.00. The bus arrived at the port of saint-Marc since February the 6th. He flew to Haiti to pay the duty at the port and was not able to due to corruption.You have to use racketeers at the port, you can not file the paperwork by yourself even if you can and want to. what type of stupid system is this. They asked him for $52,000.00 Haitian more than 200 per cent what the bus worth, when he barked, they told him $32,000.00 Haitian.

They asked him part of it and after he gave it to them, they told him he wont be able to get the bus until the 26th of February.

We may need help on this.

Why can Haiti stop all this corruption by setting a price by the book for all import duties like modern countries do?

Because the present Haitian government is composed of thieving gutter rats, who care nothing about the country or its people. I thought this was obvious by now. > >

Rebecka, there is one thing you must do, by doing it you bring a kind of help by making shine the sun of justice in this country. Rebecka, you must go mobilising the national autority, first, go to complain to a peace-court of justice, you give > >

Well Rebecca welcome to the Haitian system of corruption! Here's what I would suggest, wait to the 26th of February, which is right around the corner. If he doesn't get the bus out, he then need to get a lawyer and sue the Haitian custom for ever > >
