Mozambique Customs Duties Summary
Mozambique employs a structured import tariff regime based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of goods, utilizing the Harmonized System (HS) for classification. The system is designed to generate revenue and protect local industry, primarily consisting of ad valorem duties, a standard Value Added Tax (IVA), and specific consumption taxes on luxury items. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) must also account for the TSA surcharge and processing fees administered through the Single Electronic Window (JUE).
