Are there restrictions on goods that can be sold onto the local market by a Freeport Licencee?
A number of commodities require special authorisations and import permits to enter the local customs territory. These are listed in Suppliers Control Act and include fish caught in the national waters or EEZ, agricultural products, foodstuff and motor vehicles. Import permits normally require clearance from the relevant Authorities, e.g.: • Ministry of Agriculture for agricultural goods (the Plant Quarantine Service) and for animal products (the Veterinary Division); • Ministry of Health for prepared foods, drugs, and chemicals with potential adverse effects on health; • Police for arms and ammunitions; • Ministry of Information for cinema films; • Mauritius Telecom for telecommunications equipment.
