- Exempted companies procedures:
- Non exempted companies procedure:
According to local rule and regulation if goods are not part of the “Cahier Des Charges” or the goods are for a non-exempted company, the procedure is as follow:
- A pre-shipment inspection performed by SGS and subject to lodging a “DDI Soumise” which will cost an inspection Tax of 0.90% of the FOB value (if the FOB value of the goods is more than US$3000) with a minimum payment of GNF350.000;
- The inspection is done prior to the shipment of the cargo. Alternatively, non-inspected goods will be subject to very heavy fines when entering the country;
- The pre-shipment inspection is done by SGS at point of origin. SGS will issue a few interconnected documents called clean report of finding, “Rapport d’inspection or ICR” in French. This document will then be compiled with commercial invoices and shipping documentation to clear the goods;
- In this case duties and taxes are prepaid by the importers before SGS releases the cargo, unless otherwise authorized by the customs or the Ministry of Finance;
- Normal chargeable import duties, can be up to 38,81% of the CIF Conakry value without extra charges and additional taxes if applicable;
- Duties in this case follow the clean report of finding performed by SGS in the country of origin. The document (CRF) is faxed to SGS Conakry office by SGS origin country with the real value of the cargo and duties are paid accordingly;
- Upon clean report of finding (CRF) reception, our agents can start preparing the entry bills “Declaration en Douane”; document called BDT “Bordereau de Taxation provisoire” according to the values on the CRF form that was issued by the original inspection report office. SGS Conakry office then issues the Final BDT and the file can be introduced to customs. The customs procedure and the cargo release procedure will be the same as describe above.
