Somaliland requires pre-shipment inspection for all goods imported into the country. Our task includes conducting conformity assessment activities and issuing certificates of conformity for all regulated products exported to Somalia. To determine if your product requires conformity assessment, please contact us.

The main objective of this compliance verification program is to better protect consumers and importers from substandard, counterfeit, and potentially hazardous goods. Please note that as of April 16, 2022, every batch of goods shipped to Somaliland must be accompanied by a certificate of conformity.

Somaliland Compliance Certification Process

To assess the compliance of goods, the compliance verification process will follow one of three compliance routes, called "routes," depending on the exporter's situation:

Route A applies to exporters who do not ship frequently or sensitive products.

Route B applies to exporters who regularly ship non-sensitive homogeneous products.

Route C applies to manufacturers, official distributors, and brand owners who regularly and in large quantities ship to the Republic of Somaliland and apply a quality management system (QMS) in their production/manufacturing process.

Somaliland Import Tariffs

Somalia uses the Harmonized System (HS) Customs Code to classify goods for tax purposes.  Unless imported goods qualify as aid or have prior approval for tax exemption, all imports are subjected to import duty at entry based on the Customs Tariff Schedule annexed to the Somali Customs Tariff Law of 2022.  It is important to get the latest updates on tariffs before importation.  Somalia currently has the lowest taxation in the region.  Value Added Tax (VAT) and other fees and charges may apply to specific consignments.  According to the recent Somali Customs law, import duty is assessed on the Cost Insurance Freight (CIF) value of the good.  VAT and other fees and charges are assessed on CIF + duty.
