The generality of
the goods can be freely imported, with exception of the forbidden ones
(some nourishing genres and harmful medicines to the public health,
among others) or the ones dependent of previous consent of the
competent authorities, such as: live animals and products of animal
origin; weapons and the ammunition; pharmaceutical products and
medicines.
In the sequence of
the extinguishing of the Bulletins of Importation Register (BRI)
and Exportation (BRE) and of the creation, in substitution, of
the Registers of Entrance (REM) and Exit (RSM) of Merchandises, the
licensing of the operations of external commerce was eliminated. On
the other hand, the obligatoriness of register of the same ones was
created, with the purpose to collect elements that allow the
elaboration of statistics, nominated in whom it respects to the
identification of the importers and exporters and to the type of
carried through operations.
The transactions of
good for Angola whose value is equal or superior USD 5.000,00, the
expedition of groups of merchandises, independently of its value and
the partial embarkation of products, of inferior or equal value FOB
USD 5.000,00 (if the total value of the embarkation reaches or to
exceeds such sum), are obligatorily subject of pre-embarkation
Inspection.
The accomplishment of the
inspection is of the responsibility of the BIVAC
INTERNATIONAL and
understands the verification of the quality, amount, tariff
classification, comparison of prices and indication of the value of
the merchandises for customs ends on which the corresponding rights
and taxes will happen.
This process begins with
the order made to BIVAC, under petition of the importer, for the
accomplishment of the inspection, having to be submitted the following
documents: invoice pro-form, purchase order, lists of packing and
prices and, still, the letter of credit and contract or any another
document that the above organism considers necessary.
After
the inspection, two situations may occur:
-
The
BIVAC, in the country of expedition, stamp
an adhesive of security in the commercial invoice, with the number and
the date of the Certificate of Verification
– CRF ("Clean Report of Findings"), which
estimates that all requirements demanded for
the effect had been fulfilled;
-
If
the BIVAC understands that some of the
analyzed parameters are not in agreement,
emits one Certified of Not Conformity – NIR ("Negotiable Inspection
Report").
The process of customs
forwarding was simplified with the introduction of
the "Unique Document" (DU), that aims to simplify the
customs procedures
and to reduce the time to pay the duties of
the merchandises. This document was introduced, in a first phase,
at the cargo
terminal of the Airport of Luanda and later widened to the Port of
Luanda. In November of 2002, in order to
speed up the customs process, it was created the Customs Warehouse of
Angola, which treats, mainly, of the
alimentary products. The Angolan Customs Guideline is based on the
Harmonized System of Designation and
Codification of Merchandises (SH). The "
ad-valorem " applicable rights to the imported products, independently
of its origination, vary between 2% and 35%,
in accordance with the classification of the itself
(indispensable, necessary, useful, superfluous and of luxury).
Beyond the customs impositions, it also
take place the payment of other taxes, such
as the Tax of Consumption (it varies between 5% and 50%), Stamp Tax
(0.5%),General
Fees
(2%),Dispatchers Honoraries
(incident on the value of the products) and the Tax of Linking to the
Wharf (referring to the permanence of the containers in the wharf).
