A. Importación prohibiciones, restricciones y licencias de importación
3.25.
Since the previous Review, there have been no significant changes to the legislative or institutional framework on the import prohibition, restriction and licensing regime, which remains regulated by, inter alia, the Control of Goods Act. Goods prohibited from importation into Zambia are: a. Base or counterfeit coins; b. Any goods which are indecent, obscene, or objectionable; c. Any goods which might tend to deprave the morals of the inhabitants; d. Prison-made and penitentiary-made goods; e. Qilika (a product mainly used as a drug); f. Spirituous beverages containing preparations, extracts, essences, or chemical products that are noxious or injurious; g. Any goods the importation of which is prohibited by or under the authority of any law (such as the Food and Drugs Act, the Standards Act, the Mines and Minerals Act, and the Environmental and Pollution Control Act); and h. Stills and all apparatus or parts of apparatus capable of being used for the production or refining of alcohols.
3.26.
No import licences are required for general importation of goods. However, unprocessed agricultural products require an import permit and a SPS certificate (section 3.1.8). Motor vehicles and household sugar (to be fortified with vitamin A) are subject to import licensing on TBT grounds. Importation of pharmaceutical products requires a licence, and the importation of unfortified household sugar also requires a permit, both issued by the Ministry of Health, for consumer safety and human health reasons.
B. Exportación prohibiciones y restricciones
3.69.
Export prohibitions apply to: raw animal hides and skins; logs; wood charcoal; and any goods prohibited under other laws.
3.70.
The Government may restrict maize exports from time to time; according to the authorities, this is for food security reasons. The Food Reserve Agency (FRA) may export maize from Zambia through government to government arrangements.
3.71.
Export permits/licences are required for certain goods, such as maize grain, groats and flour (for food security reasons); minerals (for monitoring); fertilizers; live animals; gemstones; and firearms. The intending exporter applies to the relevant ministries indicating the product to be exported (with details such as the quantity, value, origin of the goods, and intended destination) and pays a fee to cover the administration cost once the application is processed and approved.
