Mthuli Ncube and  your cabinet ,you have failed Zimbabwe !Impose duty of basic food stuff?Are you not ashamed?Why don't you create jobs and widen the tax base?What do you want the citizens to do?

Richard Patrick

But it is clearly stated that consumers will not be affected by this law.  

Sir African

Some laws are stu.pid and people will just ignore then because they cant be enforced. If I buy bottle of soft drink I can only produce a reciept from ok and I cant ask ok if they ha e paid duty on their product.
The onus to prove the goods have been smuggled  lays with the state.

I think the tining is bad. This should havebeen imolemented duting the gvt of national uslnity when civil servants were getting at least $500. Now everyone is surving by trading. Besides , yhe country has never had a sound system that wo4lrks. Thats why ZIMRA officials are the richest people in thw country as tgey benefited from a corrupt system. We have been surviving in South african plfood products for decades. Dont tuen around and say these are poisonous. First fix the system and ensure it benefits everyone

Chinese nationals and some ZANU-PF loyalists evade taxes, while the poor are forced to pay. This is shameful. Soon, there will be no goods in shops. People are opting for cheaper alternatives from informal traders downtown, but they're being targeted. The issue is that Zimbabwe's taxes are excessively high and unfriendly, driving people to smuggle goods. Civil servants and other workers are heavily taxed despite their meager salaries. Cry, my Zimbabwe.



This problem can be avoided if only we use one currency strictly like usd and no local currency wch is causing distortions that killed the retail and manufacturing sector.Imports were a result of distorted local prices due to dual currency with mispricing from fixed exchange rates.

Just remove local currency and u see wat happens 

So basically , they enabled the smuggling of biscuits on buses?

wamambo90


mabiscuits pay duty in US$ hanzi maluxury goods

Duty free applies to non commercial imports.So if u import biscuits in bulk,zimra will consider it a commercial import and thus demand import doc respectively.pakaipa the amount of regulations in Zimbabwe is a nightmare 

I thought biscuits were on a duty free tariff, not so long ago. How can they provide proof of duty payment, when it is duty free.

More prices ikes in shops....more hardship for the general population....the formal shops will be out of business...only garage shops will survive. Another great success 🙌 👏 👍

The government has introduced new regulations that presume certain goods to be smuggled unless the owners can provide evidence of customs duty payment.
Under the Customs and Excise (Designated Deemed Smuggled Goods) Regulations, 2025, any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or consumer found in possession of designated goods without proof of duty payment to ZIMRA will be considered to have smuggled the goods. They will be liable for the payment of the duty, along with any applicable penalties.
The designated goods include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, cement, clothing, footwear, dairy products, diapers, electrical appliances, cables, ploughs and their parts, processed meat, rice, pasta, sugar, tyres, motor spares, washing powder, detergents, biscuits, sweets, and laundry soaps.
The regulation doesn’t target consumers but traders and manufacturers. It says:
<blockquote>
For the avoidance of doubt, no customer shall be required to produce proof of payment of duty on imported goods purchased from a local manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer.
It shall be the responsibility of the person who would have imported the goods or the manufacturer (in the case of such imported goods used as inputs into production), wholesaler or retailer of such imported goods to provide satisfactory documentary evidence to the extent that the goods have been properly imported.
</blockquote>

The government made new rules to stop smuggling goods. If people have certain things without proof of paying customs duty, it will be assumed they smuggled them. The list includes drinks, clothes, food, electronics, and more. People can't ask customers for proof, but makers and sellers must show proof for imported goods. If caught, they must pay the duty and fees. This rule is for companies, not regular people buying things. The goal is to stop smuggling and make sure taxes are paid.
