Certificate Of Conformity
Kuwait’s growing demand for IT and telecom products makes it an attractive market, but navigating the import process requires strict compliance and detailed approvals. Businesses must prepare thoroughly to avoid delays, penalties, or shipment rejection.
Kuwait enforces a strict documentation approval process. All paperwork must be completed and verified before customs inspection, or shipments risk delays.
Documents—including properly issued commercial invoices and certificates—must be attested by the Chamber of Commerce and approved by Kuwaiti Customs before shipment can proceed.
All IT and tech equipment must meet the Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS) standards. Missing or failed KUCAS approvals can block clearance and lead to re-exportation.
Kuwait enforces restrictions on certain categories of goods, including a ban on imports from Israel and strict regulations on second-hand or refurbished IT equipment.
Navigate restrictions on second-hand and refurbished IT equipment with expert guidance.
Ensure all required customs clearance documentation is complete, attested, and approved before shipment.
Ensure KUCAS compliance for tech imports to meet Kuwait’s Technical Regulations without delays.
Streamline customs inspections and clearance with accurate HS code classification.
