Rules, regulations and Responsibilities:

• Please note that you are responsible for paying the duties levied by the Namibian government. VAT is currently at 16.5%. This can be claimed back from the revenue authorities with your annual tax returns.
• A VAT Deferment Account is an account that allows our transporter / courier to clear all duties and charge them to that account so that clients can settle when they do their tax returns. For clients that do not have this account, the transporter / courier will pay the duties on behalf of these clients and the client in turn is invoiced from Amrod to make the duties payments as the transporter / courier invoices Amrod for those costs.
• The transporter / courier charges an extra 10% of the amount they pay on behalf of the client as an admin fee.
