Customs Regulations in Namibia |
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
Original Bill of Lading
Inventory
Passport
Permanent residents permit
CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
Used household effects are duty free if the client has had
them in his possession for more than 12 months. Shipments are
not always stopped for customs examination. Client must present
himself/herself to customs with all documentation.
This function can be handled on behalf of the client provided
the clearing agent is in possession of the client�s original
passport.
VEHICLES
VAT is always payable. If stopped for customs examination,
the client must be in possession of a permanent resident�s permit
if he/she is a new immigrant. Do not ship the auto until
the client is in possession of an import permit. The client
must complete all documentation and present it to the customs
department together with his/her passport so that customs can
attest the CA304a. Customs will only release the vehicle once
it is satisfied that everything is in order, and the engine
number agrees with that stated on the bill of entry. Once the
bill of entry has been endorsed by customs, this document must
be presented to the motor license department who will issue
the license. Required documents:
Import permit
Passport
Original Bill
of Lading
Registration
papers
Invoice
FIREARMS
Are always subject to a customs examination. Firearms will
be held by the customs official and kept until the client is
in possession of the stamped SAP 311. Required documentation
must be presented to his/her local police station who in turn
will issue a SAP 312. The police authority will apply for a
license on behalf of the importer. The firearm will be held
at the customs state warehouse. The SAP 311 must be obtained
by client�s local police station in South Africa immediately
upon his/her arrival in this country.
ALCOHOL
Alcohol is always subject to customs examination. One bottle
each of wine and spirit is extracted from the consignment for
testing by the Department of Agriculture to ascertain the percentage
of alcohol. Duties are payable based on that percentage. The
liquor will be kept in bond until notification has been received
from the department of agriculture to release.
PETS
The veterinary certificate from the country of origin must
be presented to customs four (4) working days prior to the animal�s
arrival in South Africa. Stamped by state veterinary department.
Quarantine is not always necessary. It depends upon the state
veterinary surgeon. Once the animal has been examined and the
surgeon is satisfied with the condition of the animal it will
be released.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
Pornographic books and magazines
Walkie-talkies
Radios
Certain feathers, furs, skins and tusks of
animals under protected species regulations
Narcotics and drugs
PLANTS
