The country-specific numbers we plan every Mozambique booking around:

|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | the national customs service |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | No practical de-minimis on most routes |
| Import tax & duty regime | Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common |

| Typical port/airport dwell time | 7–21 days (congestion common) |

Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
Bulk Commercial Volume
A 300 KG load into Mozambique is squarely bulk commercial freight. At this size, ocean (FCL or LCL) and air-charter pricing tighten up considerably. Most regular importers run scheduled ocean for their standing orders and keep air in reserve for urgent gaps.
- Ocean FCL can pay off once you pass roughly 5 CBM
- LCL ocean rates are billed per cubic metre in this range
- Plan for a customs exam — have complete documentation ready
- Insure anything over about USD 5,000 in declared value

What paperwork clears customs in Mozambique?
the national customs service will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
