Mauritius is a strategic transshipment hub with a growing tech sector, but businesses face a highly regulated trade environment. Importing IT and telecom goods requires careful attention to customs procedures, accurate documentation, and cost management to avoid delays and penalties.
All tech imports must be classified using accurate Harmonized System (HS) code classification. Errors in classification often result in shipment delays, fines, or revaluation by customs.
Importers must prepare and submit a wide range of documents—including properly issued commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and complete and accurate packing lists. Missing or incorrect paperwork can block clearance.
Mauritius imposes duties and VAT on most imported IT equipment. Incorrect transaction value reporting or duty miscalculations can significantly increase landed costs.
Certain IT and telecom products require special permits from regulatory authorities. Missing licenses can hold shipments at ports and airports.
Secure permits and approvals from relevant Mauritian authorities.
Prepare and review all documentation, including invoices and certificates of origin.
