Seychelles is positioning itself as a digital innovation hub, with projects such as the installation of a second fiber optic cable and growing interest in blockchain technologies. While opportunities for IT and telecom imports are expanding, businesses face a range of regulatory and logistical challenges.
Imports of IT and telecom equipment often require permits and must comply with Seychelles’ evolving trade and technology regulations. Missing approvals can lead to costly shipment delays.
Accurate classification, valuation, and documentation are critical for customs clearance. Errors in HS codes or certificates can trigger penalties or extended inspection times.
As a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Seychelles enjoys regional trade benefits. However, national customs procedures and compliance rules must still be met at the country level.
Recent reforms in anti-money laundering and beneficial ownership laws have increased scrutiny of imports. Businesses must ensure their documentation and trade structures align with new transparency standards.
