Angola: President Approves Amendment to Pre-Shipment Inspection Law

The President of the Republic, José Eduardo dos Santos, approved the amendment of Articles 10, 11 and 12 of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of 17 July 2006, which makes optional the pre-shipment inspection compulsory for goods imported into the national territory.
According to the decree issued, Friday, to ANGOP by the Civil House of the President, the importers or exporters who so wish, may voluntarily within the inspection entities,
perform-shipment-inspection of goods imported or exported to Angola, serving the Attestation Verification (ADV) issued only for its control.
It states that the import and export operations already in progress at the date of entry into force of this law shall be subject to the provisions of the legislation in force from the date on which the customs formalities have been initiated.
The Decree indicates that the need to rethink the legal regime that existed on the matter took into account that international business operations of purchase and sale of goods, as well as certification of their conditions of price, quantity, technical, commercial and health are the responsibility of companies operating in this market in of regime assignment of operation, not the State.
It also took into account the results of this certification is revealed disproportionate to the current conditions, after proper and safe verification and control of imported goods, and that it was therefore imperative to control its post-importation, in particular those which pose a greater risk for the collection of tax revenue and the protection of public health, the environment and national industry.
The Presidential Decree also took into account the existence of human and technical capacity in the country to carry out a proper and safe verification and control of goods
imported or produced domestically, particularly as regards quantity, quality, price, technical and commercial classification and protection of import duties.
