Angola approves new Customs Tariff

Angola's Presidential Legislative Decree no. 3/18, of 9 May 2018, approved the new Customs Tariff for imports and exports.

The new Customs Tariff introduces several changes to the regime, namely increasing the customs duties applicable for several types of goods, in order to protect and promote the Angolan productive sector. There is not a general standard rate increase. Goods must be reviewed individually to determine the applicable increase, if any.

This decree also amends the Consumption Tax rates applicable on the import and production of goods in Angola, which are now established in the Customs Tariff. Again, goods must be reviewed individually to determine the applicable increase, if any.

The new Customs Tariff will enter into force 90 days after its publication, 7 August 2018.
