Elimination of pre-shipment inspection
The Mozambique government is committed to international organizations to eliminate all non-tariff barriers, such as pre-shipment inspection, to facilitate trade.
In September 2010, a new positive list was established, it will be reviewed this year for partial or complete modification.
The list of goods subject to pre-shipment inspection is currently as follows:
• Chapter 2 – Frozen poultry meat and edible offal, code 01.05;
• Chapter 11 – Flours;
• Chapter 15 – Oils;
• Chapter 25 – Cement;
• Chapters 28 and 29 – Chemicals;
• Chapter 30 – Drugs, codes: 30.01, 30.02, 30.03, 30.04, 30.05 and 30.06;
• Chapter 36 – Matches;
• Chapter 40 – New and used tires;
• Chapter 87 – Vehicles.
