Commercial clearance guidelines online

Guidelines on
documentation for imports
and exports are supplied
by the Zimbabwe Revenue
Authority (Zimra).
Goods imported for
commercial purposes by
any individual are cleared
through a Bill of Entry
which is processed by the
ASYCUDA system.
The importer should
have a Business
Partner
Number
which is
activated
for Customs
purposes. “The
documentation
is complex
as mainly
coded
language
is used,
hence
the need
to engage the services of
a licensed clearing agent,”
advises Zimra.
There are at least 11
documents which need to be
completed for exports into
Zimbabwe.
Export documentation
has to be submitted by either
a registered importer or a
registered clearing agent.
There are five documents
to be submitted
by exporters.
The
full list of
documents
is available
on the Zimra
website,
