Customs / Import / Export (Africa)

Quick operational overview for international shipments to Africa. Documentation, pre-clearance and local clearance steps can vary a lot by destination.

Documents (typical)
  • Commercial invoice (description, value, Incoterms)
  • Packing list (weights, dimensions, packages)
  • HS code / tariff classification
  • Proof of origin / preference docs (where relevant)
  • Depending on destination/goods: additional permits, inspection or compliance documents
Process (simplified)
  • Complete documentation and keep data consistent
  • Import clearance often broker/agent driven; potential pre-checks
  • Release, duties/taxes, and delivery
Common pitfalls
  • Missing additional documents/permits → long holds
  • Unclear valuation/invoice details → queries
  • Incoterms/responsibility not clearly agreed
  • Not enough buffer time (authorities/handling can vary)
Important: Requirements depend on goods, origin, Incoterms, value, and consignee. When in doubt, confirm with your broker/forwarder and official sources.
