Mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
Securing Your MOZ Number in Japan
In Mozambique, every used vehicle must be inspected before it leaves the port in Japan. This is a government-mandated safety and quality check
- The Provider: Intertek is the sole authorized body for these inspections.
- The MOZ Number: Before shipping, we apply for a “MOZ Number” on your behalf. This is a 6-digit unique tracking code that links your car to the Mozambique Customs system.
- What is Checked: Intertek inspectors verify the chassis number, engine condition, mileage (odometer), and roadworthiness.
- Avoid the Fine: If a car arrives in Maputo or Beira without this inspection, you will be fined 10% of the total CIF value of the car, plus the cost of a “Destination Inspection.”
Port Clearance & The “Despachante”
Final Steps at Maputo, Beira, or Nacala
Once the vessel docks, the local clearance process begins. In Mozambique, you are legally required to use a licensed Customs Broker (Despachante) to process the paperwork.
Required Documents: You (or your broker) will need:
- Original Bill of Lading (B/L): The “Title” to the cargo.
- Commercial Invoice: Showing the FOB/CIF price.
- Export Certificate: The Japanese deregistration paper.
- Intertek DUC: The “Documento Único Certificado” issued after the Japan inspection.
- The Process: Your Despachante will enter the details into the JUE (Janela Única Eletrónica)—Mozambique’s electronic single window—to calculate your final Meticais-denominated tax bill.
- NUIT Requirement: Ensure you have your NUIT (Tax Identification Number) ready; without it, the car cannot be registered in your name.
