Commodity

In Namibia, telecommunications equipment must be approved or exempted from approval before it can be connected to an electronic communication network or sold. However, temporary imports for research or demonstration purposes may be allowed without approval for up to six (6) months, provided the importer obtains authorization from the relevant Authority.

You cannot import telecommunications equipment into Namibia without obtaining authorization from the relevant Authority. To apply, you must provide detailed information about the equipment, its purpose, location, and duration in Namibia, with the possibility of an extension; failure to remove the equipment after the permitted period may result in a fine or imprisonment.
