International express delivery services in Angola are provided by DHL, FedEx and UPS. DHL Express operates directly in Angola, while FedEx is represented by Portuguese company Grupo Rangel and UPS is represented by Parcel Express, an OREY Group affiliate.  The state owned company Correios de Angola, which is part of the Ministry of Telecommunication and Information Technology, provides express delivery services with an extensive presence in major cities throughout Angola.  Some smaller players also service the express delivery market.

All import shipments through express delivery services are subject to normal customs regulations with import duties calculated based on cargo values and quantities.  Personal exemption from import duties are applied only for goods costing less than $900. In the case of business documents, the customs invoice can state the item with zero customs value.
