Namibia's air, sea and land ports in have been identified as key hubs for the export of illegal wildlife products and training is crucial for officials to identify contraband when people and cargo move through checkpoints. In this regard customs officials and police officers from Windhoek and Walvis Bay received training in species identification during the use of baggage and container scanners to detect smuggled wildlife contraband. The Namibian government is committed to combating wildlife trade in the transport sector and agreed to partner in the training of 40 Department of Customs and Excise officials and Namibian Police officers based at Hosea Kutako International airport and the Walvis Bay harbour.
