DR Congo import taxes and fees: four items to confirm before quoting
Duty, VAT and local charges on imports into DR Congo should be checked line by line against the HS code; a verifiable tax basis in the offer beats renegotiating later.

主要ポイント
- Import cost in DR Congo combines duty, VAT or an equivalent consumption tax and clearance fees; cargo enters through Matadi, with each item calculated on HS code and CIF value.
- Before quoting, confirm three things: HS classification, whether freight and insurance sit in the taxable base, and whether investment incentives or project exemptions apply.
- The other is incentive eligibility: exemptions usually carry local sourcing, hiring or reinvestment commitments, and unmet conditions are recovered in later years.

Put the tax basis into a quotation annex: tax type, rate basis, taxable base and who bears it, with classification following the local customs ruling. When applying this in DR Congo, have the local agent review it before it goes into the offer.
