Container

Since the company is a separate legal entity, the company should be able to import the container provided that it has all the necessary import licenses.

Hi,

No work permit required to import the container.

You can consign the shipment on the Mauritian Company Name.

To clear the goods from MRA Customs, your appointed Customs Broker need to register the Mauritian Company as an Importer by using only the Mauritian Director as contact person. This takes a maximum of 48 hours and can be done prior to arrival of vessel.

For registration with Customs in Mauritius, the following documents are required by a Customs Broker to do the necessary;
- Tax Account Number or  VAT Number and password
- Business Registration Certificate
- Certificate of Incorporation
- Mauritian Director's ID
- Business/Entity proof of address
(  By the way, this is a free Customs Broking Service :-)  )

I guess you already know the shipping documents you need to despath to Mauritius for clearance;
> Bill of Lading
> Commercial Invoice
> Packing List
> Relative Certificates for particular items shipped

Regards,
Az

Thanks very much for the info!
