Shipping items to Zimbabwe

DE MINIMUS INFORMATION

Zimbabwe does not have a de minimus value

De minimus is the value below which certain countries do not assess taxes and duties on shipments.

De minimis value significantly impacts eCommerce. This is because B2C orders are typically a much lower value than B2B, and a larger percentage of your shipments will clear duty and tax-free to specific countries. Shipments below the de minimis value will clear faster and provide an opportunity to get your shipments faster.

Please be aware that consolidating shipments will affect the value of your shipment and therefore the de minimus value as well.

Take note that many items can be received duty-free if the goods meet the rules of origin under free trade agreements.

IMPORT DUTIES AND TAXES

Customs Duty is levied on imported goods in terms of the Customs and Excise Act [Chapter 23:02], whilst Excise Duty is levied on certain locally manufactured goods, and other imported goods falling under the Excise Tariff even if they are entered under Trade Agreements. Applicable rates of Customs and Excise Duties are set-out in the Customs Tariff Handbook, which is published in the form of a statutory instrument.

The applicable rates of duty depend on the category of goods designated to pay duty in forex
