Angola’s New Customs Tariff

Thursday, December 5, 2013

A new custom tariff schedule has been introduced by the Angolan government by way of Presidential Legislative Decree 10/13 effective November 23.

The new tariff seeks to protect the domestic production by increasing the customs duties and consumption tax on several imported products. The top import tariff is hiked from 20% to 50%.

Other areas covered by the new legislation include provisions on anti-dumping, exemptions for certain investment projects and a special customs regime for the Cabinda province. Specific tariffs are also created for imports and exports for the petroleum industry.
