THE Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade (MIT) wishes to inform the public that the application for and issuance of Import, Export, Rebates, and Transit Permits is free of charge.
It has come to the attention of the Ministry that there are individuals, agents, or groups misleading the public and charging them for the application and issuance of MIT Permits.
“The MIT, through the IMEX Sub-Division, is responsible for monitoring and implementing the compliance of the Import and Export Control Act, 1994 (Act 30 of 1994), which provides for import and export control of goods in Namibia. The Act requires every importer or exporter whose goods are subject to import or export licensing to first obtain an import or export permit before importing into or exporting outside Namibia. The public is urged to report any activities related to payment for the application and issuance of permits to the Executive Director at 061-2837332 or email pro@mit.gov.na before taking any action that is likely to bear risks,” said Sikongo Haihambo, Executive Director within the trade ministry.
Haihambo advised importers and exporters whose goods require an Import, Export, Rebate, or Transit Permit from the MIT to do so at their convenience by applying through the Ministry’s Official Website using the link provided below: Website: https://imex.mit.gov.na
The public is furthermore advised to seek assistance from the Ministry’s Head Office or from any of its 14 Regional Offices at no cost.
