Verzollungsprozess
Timor-Leste Customs Authority manages imports. Remarkably simple tariff: FLAT 2.5% import duty on most goods. No VAT or sales tax (0%). Dili port and Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport are main entries. US dollar is legal tender. Recently independent (2002). ASEAN candidate member.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
Youngest Asian nation (independent 2002). Ultra-simple 2.5% flat duty and 0% sales tax make it one of the cheapest to import to in the region. Oil-funded economy (Timor Sea petroleum) but limited infrastructure. Dili port has limited capacity. Very few shipping options, primarily via Indonesia, Singapore, or Australia. DHL operates with limited service. Remote location adds transit time. ASEAN membership (pending) would transform trade access. Portuguese and Tetum languages. USD legal tender eliminates currency risk.
