Republic of Congo - Trade BarriersRepublic of Congo - Trade Barriers
All categories of products may be imported into the Republic of Congo with two exceptions – sugar and eggs. Some items such as motor vehicles are heavily taxed (up to 50% duty).
Customs can sometimes inflict unnecessary trade barriers, with arbitrary, irregular, or uneven enforcement of regulations. Lack of understanding of appropriate application and enforcement of customs regulations on the part of government inspectors may contribute to difficulties for U.S. trading partners and investors.
