Customs and import context

Customs authority and filings

Imports are cleared by Mauritius Revenue Authority – Customs. The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.

  • Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.

Import taxes to expect by name: customs duty and VAT. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.

Languages and documents

Official or main business languages: English, French. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.

Local-language port names on file (confirm spelling on your documents): Port Louis: Port de Port-Louis.
