Facts of the Case
Background
Quest Motor Manufacturing, a registered assembler of motor vehicles, imported Toyota Hilux Revo Double Cab vehicles in semi-knocked down (SKD) kit form. ZIMRA initially approved the importation under suspended duty but later reversed this decision, demanding full import duty. The company's appeals to ZIMRA officials were dismissed. The company then filed an application for review in the High Court, but this was dismissed on a preliminary point regarding failure to give proper notice under the State Liabilities Act and Customs and Excise Act.
