Verzollungsprozess
Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) manages customs, one of the most efficient in Africa. EAC Common External Tariff applies with 3 bands: 0%, 10%, 25%, plus Rwanda-specific surcharges for 'Made in Rwanda' protection on some goods (35%+). Electronic Single Window system for declarations. Landlocked, goods transit via Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) or Mombasa (Kenya). Kigali airport handles air cargo.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
Remarkably efficient for a landlocked African country. RRA customs is one of the least corrupt in Africa, zero tolerance on informal payments. Aggressive 'Made in Rwanda' protection, used clothing/shoes banned, some goods face 35%+ duties to protect local industry. Electronic systems work well. Goods transit via Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) or Kenya (Mombasa), adding 1-2 weeks. DHL and FedEx operate in Kigali. Single-use plastics completely banned at entry.
