Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion Minister, Mthuli Ncube, has said authorities will now treat all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as basic commodities like refined sugar, detergents, and dairy products, as smuggled items unless the owner can prove they paid customs duty.
This is being done to stop the influx of smuggled goods into the domestic market, which is hurting local industries by creating unfair competition.
Ncube’s remarks were delivered by Joseph Mverecha, the ministry’s chief director of economic affairs, during a presentation titled “Macro Economic Stabilisation Policies” at the Zimbabwe Staff College in Harare on Thursday, March 13, as part of the Joint Command and Staff Course.
Ncube said that while authorities have already launched a nationwide crackdown on smuggled goods, some counterfeit products are being made in local backyard industries.
Smuggled goods are in high demand because they’re cheap, as they don’t pay import duties or taxes. However, reduces demand for goods sold by registered operators, making it hard for them to stay viable, pay taxes, and create jobs.
Ncube said despite these headwinds, Zimbabwe is expected to grow by 6% this year, driven by a strong recovery in agriculture and good performance in mining and tourism. Said Ncube:
<blockquote>
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, washing powder, detergents and sugar, among others, are now deemed as smuggled unless sellers provide documentary evidence that customs duty was paid for.
</blockquote>
Ncube said to address informalisation, the Government has taken steps to level the playing field. The introduction of a 5% withholding tax payable to wholesalers and manufacturers is aimed at improving tax compliance among unregistered small to medium enterprises.
He said the value-added tax registration threshold has been reduced from US$40,000 to US$25,000, encouraging more businesses to formalise their operations.

Customs duty payment is now needed for groceries, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. This is to stop smuggled goods from unfair competition. The government is cracking down on smuggled items to help local industries. Smuggled goods are cheap because they don't pay taxes. This makes it hard for legal businesses to survive and create jobs. Zimbabwe is expected to grow by 6% this year despite these challenges. The government is trying to level the playing field by introducing new measures to improve tax compliance and formalize businesses.

Proof Of Customs Duty Payment Now Required  For Groceries, Alcoholic And Non-Alcoholic Beverages

The Government of Zimbabwe has placed 19 products under the anti – smuggling watch list as it widens its crackdown on smuggling and illicit trade.
Under the Customs and Excise (Designated Deemed Smuggled Goods) Regulations, 2025, the government has introduced measures to curb smuggling. With immediate effect, ‘imported’ goods will be deemed smuggled unless the importer (wholesalers, retailers and individuals) produces valid evidentiary documents (including payment of duties and validly issued receipts).
Among some of the goods are alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, electrical appliances, dairy products, detergents, tyres and sugar. It appears these interventions are meant to restore sanity in the retails sector that has in recent months witnessed big players such as OK and “Pick n Pay” recording significant setbacks.  
Businesses found in possession of goods listed under the Customs and Excise (Designated Deemed Smuggled Goods) Regulations, 2025, will be heavily penalized by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) in terms of the schedule.
Legal expert, Mr. Lenon Rwizi has remarked:
<blockquote>
‘Ordinarily once goods deemed to have been smuggled are ceased by ZIMRA, appeals directed to the Commissioner should be lodged, setting out the grounds upon which they should be released. We are yet to see how these Regulations are going to practically operate but judging from social media reactions, they might not be a lasting remedy to the problem of smuggling”.
</blockquote>

The Zimbabwe government is cracking down on smuggling and illicit trade by putting 19 products on a watchlist. People need to have valid documents to prove they are not smuggling goods like beverages, appliances, dairy products, detergents, tires, and sugar. Businesses caught with these goods will be penalized by Zimbabwe Revenue Authority. People can appeal if they think their goods were wrongly seized. Some experts think these new rules might not solve the smuggling problem in the long term.

Zimbabwe Places 19 Products Under the Smuggling Watch List

Counterfeit grocery items have flooded Bulawayo’s informal markets, raising concern that this put the health of consumers at risk.
As reported by <a href="https://www.zbcnews.co.zw/business/consumers-grapple-with-counterfeit-groceries/">ZBC News</a>, counterfeit products have filled informal shops mostly found along busy streets in high-density suburbs.
The products include dishwashing liquid, baked beans, toothpaste and Mazoe, and are often sold at significantly lower prices compared to genuine products.
Some of the counterfeits have blurry labels, misspelt brand names, and flimsier packaging.
A Bulawayo resident who spoke to ZBC News said the products are cheaper and in some cases, it is difficult to detect that they are counterfeit. Said the consumer:
<blockquote>
The products are cheaper compared to those in the formal shops and this makes one to prefer them. I have come across fake toothpaste. You use it and realise this is not [genuine] and what hurts is that l would have bought it and no one will refund me.
</blockquote>
A vendor said that the products are locally available and cheaper than South African imports. The vendor said:
<blockquote>
We buy them locally, from some people here downtown. They come here as early as five am and they tell us the products are from Harare and they are affordable compared to the same products coming from South Africa. As someone doing business, we buy the cheaper ones to have profit.
Most of our products we get them from Botswana or South Africa. We buy Mazoe from Botswana and sell it at US$3 compared to the local price and any general person will buy the cheaper one.
</blockquote>
However, Consumer Protection Commission (CPC) Chairperson, Mthokozisi Nkosi, urged authorities to clamp down on suppliers of counterfeit products. He said:
<blockquote>
We urge consumers to be vigilant and only buy from reputable sources. Look for genuine brand markings, check expiry dates, and if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
We also call on the responsible authorities to crack down on the production and distribution of these counterfeit goods.
</blockquote>
Mpilo Hospital Clinical Director, Dr Solwayo Ngwenya warned that counterfeit products may have long-term health implications for the public. He said:
<blockquote>
Some of the foodstuffs have heavy impurities such as heavy chemicals and metals and may interfere with people’s hormones and in the long term be associated with cancer.
We need collaboration between health officials, consumer protection agencies, and law enforcement to tackle this issue.
Public awareness campaigns are also crucial to educate people about the risks of foodstuffs produced in factories that are not safe and certified.

Counterfeit Groceries Flood Street "Shops"

The recent move by the Government to suspend import duty and import value-added tax (VAT) on selected groceries is something Zimbabweans have become familiar with as it happened exactly 12 months ago.
The suspension was lifted in late November 2022, which means it has taken the Government just six months to reverse its decision amid soaring prices and a runaway exchange rate.
On Friday, 12 May, the Government suspended import duty and import value-added tax (VAT) on 11 basic grocery items: maize meal, rice, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cooking oil, petroleum jelly, toothpaste, bath soap and washing powder.
The suspension of the import duty and import VAT shall be valid for six months from 12 May 2023.
The development evokes a sense of déjà vu as similar measures to address rampant price increases were put in place in May 2022.
In May last year, Ministry of Finance and Development permanent secretary George Guvamatanga directed Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) then acting Commissioner-General Regina Chinamasa to suspend duty on selected products for a period of six months with effect from 17 May 2022. Wrote Guvamatanga:
<blockquote>
Reference is made to the press statement by the Minister of Finance and Economic Development where a pronouncement was made regarding the introduction of measures aimed at ensuring access to affordable basic commodities, in view of the recent substantial increases in prices of locally manufactured products.
In view of the above, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority is hereby authorised to suspend duty on the following products for a period of six months with effect from May 17, 2022.
</blockquote>
Rice, flour, cooking oil, margarine, salt, sugar, maize meal, milk powder, infant milk formula, tea (whether or not flavoured), petroleum jelly, toothpaste, bath soap, laundry bar were to be imported duty-free.
Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube scrapped the suspension of import duty when he presented the 2023 national budget on 24 November 2022.
In his budget presentation at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden, Ncube said:
<blockquote>
Mr speaker sir, the government suspended customs duty on basic commodities in order to cushion consumers from unjustified price increases, this measure has contributed to stability in prices of basic commodities, hence the suspension which expired on November 16, 2022 will not be extended.

Six Months Ago Govt Re-imposed Duty On Basic Groceries

The Government on Friday suspended import duty and import value-added tax (VAT) on 10 basic grocery items: maize meal, rice, milk, flour, salt, cooking oil, petroleum jelly, toothpaste, bath soap and washing powder.
The suspension of the import duty and import VAT shall be valid for six months from 12 May 2023.
The Permanent Secretary for Finance and Economic Development George Guvamatanga has since directed Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) Commissioner General Regina Chinamasa, to “urgently draft the necessary legal instrument and implement the duty suspension with effect from 12 May 2023”. Wrote Guvamatanga:
<blockquote>
Furthermore, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is expected to complement the measure through the inclusion of the above goods on the Open General Import Licence.
</blockquote>
The move is in line with the measures announced by Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube on Thursday.
Among other things, Ncube said retailers and wholesalers can now keep all the foreign currency they collect from customers.
The announcement came after shops hiked prices of basic food items in response to the rapid weakening of the Zimbabwe dollar against other currencies.
The removal of import duty on products can result in lower prices for consumers and improved access to goods.
However, removing import duty may also have some negative effects such as loss of government revenue, adverse effects on domestic industries, and dependency on foreign producers.
Meanwhile, in a statement on released on Friday, Buy Zimbabwe chairperson Munyaradzi Hwengwere said the Government’s decision to scrap import duty on basic grocery items will leave the local manufacturing industry vulnerable to cheap imports.
Buy Zimbabwe called for an emergency meeting with wholesalers and retailers to map a way forward.

List Of Duty-free Grocery Items Released

Members of Parliament have expressed concern with the Cotton Company of Zimbabwe (Cottco)’s inability to pay farmers for their 2022 deliveries, reported <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mps-flag-cottco-for-paying-farmers-using-groceries/">ZimLive</a>.
The legislators also bemoaned Cottco’s tendency to use groceries to pay farmers for their cotton.
Speaking in the National Assembly last week, Kambuzuma legislator Willias Madzimure (CCC), demanded that the government cotton merchant treats cotton farmers with dignity. Madzimure said:
<blockquote>
The issue of giving farmers groceries and sometimes equipment to use in the fields does not augur well for farmers.
When farmers deliver produce, they are expecting to get their money in cash so that they will then decide on their own what they want to use the money for, instead of them being asked to go to a shop and pick up groceries or implements.
</blockquote>
Gokwe-Kabuyuni legislator Spencer Tshuma (ZANU PF) noted that cotton farmers were now failing to pay school fees for their children.
Responding to the lawmakers, Acting Agriculture Minister Felix Mhona confirmed farmers have been paid using groceries.
He, however, added that farmers were never forced to accept groceries saying it was a voluntary arrangement between the parties. He said:
<blockquote>
I think the time when that was happening was more of a voluntary programme where one would opt to get groceries. Of late, this is not happening.
Where people were actually getting groceries in terms of payment, going forward and as it is now, the government is going to pay farmers their hard-earned money and not in the form of goods.
</blockquote>
Mhona also acknowledged that payments to cotton farmers had been delayed and said the government was looking into the issue to ensure that the farmers are paid.
Finance Deputy Minister Clemence Chiduwa said cotton farmers were owed more than US$28 million. Said Chiduwa:
<blockquote>
Last week but one is when we agreed that in order for us to pay out that money, we are paying US$5 million per week.
So, I expect that in the following week, we will be able to pay all the outstanding money in tranches of US$5 million per week.

Grocery Prices From Selected Supermarket In Harare Zimbabwe For The Week Of 12 September

Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) media and public relations manager, Garikai Chaunza has said that prices of commodities such as mealie-meal, flour and bread are likely to rise in direct response to the government’s increase of maize and wheat prices.
Maize grain is now $1 300 per metric tonne from $726, while wheat has gone up from around $1 600 per metric tonne to $2 200.
The development is likely to impact on the prices of maize-meal. Currently, a 10kg bag of maize-meal costs $34 while a 2kg packet of flour is averaging $22.
The current average price of a loaf bread is $7.
The increase in the prices of maize and wheat come at a time when the government has already started importing the grains as its reserves are already empty.
The president also appealed to stakeholders and sympathisers to assist with food aid as the country faces severe starvation due to El Nino drought. Moreover, Cyclone Idai destroyed crops which were weeks away from harvest.
Prices of other commodities in the country are already high.
