A key player in streamlining the import of tech goods into Botswana, an Importer of Record (IOR) tackles various challenges encountered by importers. Precise HS code classification and valuation of tech goods are vital for navigating import duties and taxes, preventing penalties or disputes with Botswana’s customs authorities. Leveraging our expertise in customs tariff codes and valuation methodologies, TecEx ensures accurate classification and valuation, mitigating potential issues for a smooth import process.
To import goods into Botswana from outside the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), it’s essential to obtain import permits.
Given Botswana’s lack of foreign exchange restrictions, obtaining foreign currency for transactions is easily achievable. Nevertheless, it’s still necessary to enlist the services of an IOR for the smooth clearance of your goods through customs.
