Like many countries, you need a registered entity to import dual-use tech goods into Zambia to comply with customs regulations. This means you will need an Importer of Record (IOR) to manage the customs process and associated risks.
While there are no restrictions applied to tech and IT equipment, the Zambian customs authorities can inspect shipments at any moment – precise classification of goods is paramount. Any mistake could lead to significant delays and fines. TecEx’s compliance database of HS codes guarantees accurate classification for all your equipment, ensuring smooth import processes.
Zambia’s government has zero-rated the importation of telecommunications equipment, including telecommunications masts, in a fresh bid to attract investment into the industry. Yet, you’ll still require a local partner as your IOR for smooth customs clearance.
