New Requirements for Exports to Uganda

Companies exporting to Uganda now require a Certificate of Conformity for products regulated under the Uganda Pre-Export Verification of Conformity to Standards Programme (PVoC).

To assure Ugandan consumers of the quality and safety of imported goods, the Government of Uganda implemented from  June 2010 a series of guidelines known as a Pre-Export Verification of Conformity to Standards Programme (PVoC).

The PVoC verifies the conformity of all regulated products and enforces their standards. Compliance to PVoC requirements are applicable in addition to any existing import processes.

Every consignment of imported goods must be accompanied by a Conformity Certificate. They are needed to ensure customs clearance of shipments and to confirm that the products comply with the relevant Ugandan technical regulations and national, regional or international standards.
