Angolan importers must be registered and clear goods through the single window using a licensed despachante, or customs broker. ARMED, the regulatory agency for medicines and health technologies, authorises imports of medicines and APIs. Documentation in Portuguese is often required, so confirm what the broker needs. Oilfield and other hazardous chemicals must be properly classified and shipped under IMDG rules, with a dangerous goods declaration. There is no India–Angola trade agreement in force.
