Customs and Excise (Tariff) (Amendment) Notice, 2025 (No. 11)
The twelve-month tariff concession in the Third Schedule of the 2024 tariff notice is now dated: it runs for twelve months from 9 February 2025.
This short notice amends the Third Schedule to the Customs and Excise (Tariff) Notice, 2024 (No. 5), published as S.I. 16 of 2024.
Paragraph 1(b) of that Schedule provided for a concession running for "a period of twelve months" without saying when the period began. The words are replaced with "a period of twelve months effective from 9th February, 2025", fixing the start date and so the expiry — 8 February 2026.
The amendment is administrative but consequential for anyone relying on the concession: importers and clearing agents can now date entitlement precisely rather than arguing from the date of the original notice.
What changed
- The twelve-month period in paragraph 1(b) of the Third Schedule runs from 9 February 2025
- The concession therefore expires on 8 February 2026
Who this affects
- Importers relying on the Third Schedule concession
- Clearing agents
- ZIMRA assessors applying the tariff notice
