Angola: used machinery and the CNCA conformity assessment
Used machines entering Angola need age, hours and conformity documents aligned.

Key points
- Used machinery entering Angola is checked on age, hours and safety devices alongside conformity documents, and declarations must match the nameplate.
- Angola applies pre-shipment conformity for selected imports; the list and appointed bodies follow CNCA publications.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
