- Intertek supports exporters to Mozambique with Conformity Assessment and Certification for the Mozambique Conformity Assessment Programme
Exporters/Importers trading with Mozambique need to comply with the requirements of the Government of the Republic of Mozambique, Conformity Assessment Programme (CAP) in order for their goods to clear customs. Failure to do so can result in severe delays in goods clearance, penalties or even shipments being returned.
The Mozambique CAP was implemented by the Government of the Republic of Mozambique, represented by the National Institute of Standards and Quality (INNOQ,IP), to assure Mozambican consumers of the quality and safety of imported goods and to facilitate trade. ‘Regulated Products’ within the programme require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) which verifies, in the respective exporting countries, the compliance with Mozambican technical regulations and mandatory standards or approved Regional or International Standards.
The requirements for CAP include:
- Every consignment of imported goods which contains regulated products must be accompanied by a CoC which can only be issued by Intertek and must take place prior to shipment.
- A Customs Service Order will be issued shortly by Mozambique Customs, which will enforce the requirement that a CoC is obligatory for customs clearance purposes.
- The CoC Certificate confirms that the products comply with the relevant Mozambique technical regulations and approved standards.
Intertek having been awarded the contract by the Mozambique Ministry of Industry and Commerce is the only Certification Body approved to issue Certificates of Conformity for the Mozambique programme.
