Intertek supports exporters to Zimbabwe with Conformity Assessment and Certification for the Zimbabwe CBCA programme
Enable Seamless Trade into Zimbabwe
Navigating import regulations can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. With the recent appointment under the Government of Zimbabwe’s Consignment-Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) Programme, Intertek is now authorised to carry out pre-shipment verification and certification of regulated products headed to Zimbabwe.
As part of our mandate, we certify a wide range of products before they are shipped to Zimbabwe. This ensures alignment with local safety and quality regulations, saving time and minimising costly delays at the border.
What is the CBCA Programme?
The CBCA (Consignment-Based Conformity Assessment) programme is an initiative by Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MOIC) to ensure that regulated products comply with national standards before shipping.
