Question 2

How are customs fees calculated in Rwanda?

Accepted Answer

Depending on how much the item you want to buy is worth and where you want it sent, you may have to pay customs fees. It's important to research what these may be so that you can factor them into your shipping costs. People in the Rwanda do not have to pay duties or taxes when the total value of their shipment is less than the de minimis value in Rwanda, which is listed above. However, some products may be subject to other types of fees or taxes.

We suggest that you contact your local customs office for more information, as duties and taxes are dependent on the destination, provenance, and value of items shipped. These regulations are subject to change at any time. Forwardme is only responsible for shipping your product to your delivery address.

Almost all shipments that come into Rwanda need to include customs documentation.

The customs forms you need to fill out depend on what type of shipment you are sending and who your preferred shipping company is. There may be different forms depending on these factors. Bills of Lading (BOLs) Commercial Invoices (CIs): Forwardme mostly uses, and generates commercial invoices for your shipments on your behalf. Manifests or Cargo Control Documents (CCDs), which are sometimes required if you’ll be shipping more than one package at a time. Proof of Delivery (POD), if this isn’t handled directly on the BOL Electronic Export Information (EEI) forms, which replace the former Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED) form for controlled exports
