Importing General Goods into Zimbabwe: CBCA Certificate Requirements

Cotecna is authorized by the Zimbabwe Ministry of Industry and Commerce to issue Certificates of Conformity for exports to Zimbabwe, ensuring compliance with national standards.

Ensure Compliance with Zimbabwe’s Import Standards

Cotecna is authorised by the Zimbabwe Ministry of Industry and Commerce to issue Certificates of Conformity (COC) for general goods exported to Zimbabwe under the Consignment-Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) Programme.

About the CBCA Programme

The CBCA programme is designed to protect both consumers and importers from substandard, counterfeit, or potentially dangerous goods. Cotecna is mandated to verify that all regulated general goods comply with Zimbabwean standards before shipment, ensuring smooth customs clearance and reducing the risk of penalties.

Conformity Assessment Process

To assess the conformity of a shipment, Cotecna applies a verification process that may include:

  • Documentary review
  • Physical inspection
  • Laboratory testing

For used vehicles, conformity is assessed through a physical inspection of the vehicle. To begin the process, please contact us.
