The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) licenses imports of hazardous substances, and MCAZ registers medicines and issues import permits for APIs. Certain regulated product categories also need a Consignment Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) certificate before shipment, so check the HS code early. Cargo usually arrives via Beira or Durban under transit documents. Transactions are commonly settled in US dollars. Dangerous goods follow IMDG rules at sea and regional road transport rules on the inland leg.
