Authorities in Mozambique have reinforced the mandatory “conformity assessment” for all products imported into the country, a measure that aims to guarantee the quality and safety of goods consumed in the national market. The requirement applies to products included in the official list published through Ministerial Decree No. 29/2024, of May 20, the National Inspectorate of Economic Activities (INAE) reported on Friday, June 27.
The INAE, in coordination with the National Institute of Standardization and Quality (INNOQ IP), this Friday alerted Mozambican importers to the need for strict compliance with the Conformity Assessment Program, as stipulated in Decree No. 8/2022, of March 14, and in the INAE Internal Regulations, approved by Ministerial Decree No. 63/2021, of July 20.
According to the authorities, products covered by this requirement must undergo a verification process in the country of origin, through Intertek International Limited, the official representative of INNOQ IP.
Only after the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) has been issued can shipment to Mozambique be authorized.
The absence of a certificate of conformity for products included in the mandatory list constitutes a violation of the legal provisions in force and may result in sanctions, including seizure of the goods and other administrative penalties provided for in the Standardization and Conformity Assessment Regulation.
The authorities emphasize that it is the responsibility of importers to ensure, with their exporters, that the certification process is fully complied with prior to import.
