Hello everyone,

How about helping 暗网禁区s considering moving to Mauritius by answering some questions about custom regulations?

What are the procedures to get your belongings cleared by customs once you have arrived in Mauritius? Who do you have to contact and how do you get in touch with them? How do you go about from there?

Hi,

From my experience collecting belongings or containers through customs in MRU.

I would strongly advise to give your shipment listing or info to a Shipping Agent.

These agents know about items allowed in or restricted items as well, they will know up to date by-laws
dealing with Customs and Mauritius Revenue Authority.

Listing of these agents can be found in the Mauritian phone directory.

Regards,
Dave Purmess.
