Verzollungsprozess
Kiribati Customs Division under Ministry of Finance. Manual paper-based system, no electronic customs. High protective duties (up to 60% on some goods). Australian dollar is official currency. Very small import volumes.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
EXTREMELY REMOTE, 33 atolls spread across 3.5 million km² of ocean. Tarawa is the main island with the only real port (Betio). No international courier services. Cargo arrives by infrequent ships from Fiji or Australia (every 2-4 weeks). Postal mail can take 4-12 weeks. No airport capable of handling large cargo planes. Climate change flooding threatens entire nation. Import duties are high (government revenue). Infrastructure is minimal. One of the world's hardest places to ship to.
