Importing and exporting goods in Swaziland

 
importing goods to SwazilandImporting into Swaziland

Goods imported into Swaziland may be cleared under one of the following customs procedures within seven (7) days of the date on which they are deemed to have been imported:
  • Home consumption
  • Warehousing (later cleared for home consumption or re-export)
  • Transit/in bond
  • Temporary admission
If goods are not cleared with seven days of importation, there are penalties.
  For customs clearance purposes, the importer should submit a customs declaration document, supporting documents (invoice, transport document, certificate of origin, permits and any other document that may be required for verification purposes). Clearance for warehousing, transit/in bond or temporary admission requires a security that will cover the duties and taxes suspended.

 Exportation Goods exported from Swaziland may be exported under one of the following customs procedures:
  • Permanent export
  • Temporary export
  • Re-export
For customs clearance purposes, the exporter should submit a customs declaration document, supporting documents (invoice, F178, permits and any other document that may be required for verification purposes). 
Swaziland complies with the ASYCDA system and the codes required on the import/export documents are listed below:
Customs (ASYCUDA) Codes
It is of the utmost importance to capture the correct codes when declaring imports or exports. capturing the wrong codes results in inaccurate customs data and may lead to delays for an importer/exporter. 
Below are the codes used by the ASYCUDA++ system.
