Zimbabwe Revenue Authority
ASYCUDA++ Trade Manual
Introduction
Goods that are imported into or exported from Zimbabwe must be declared toCustoms.With the exception of some goods carried as passenger's baggage, goods of a valuenot exceeding a prescribed amount and certain other categories of private ordiplomatic importations the standard form of declaration is made on Form 21-Zimbabwe Revenue Authority Bill of Entry. The legal provisions enactingthe use of this form are contained in Part 2 and First Schedule, Part II of the Customsand Excise (General) Regulations, 2001.
The new ASYCUDA++system has been introduced in Zimbabwe with the objectiveof streamlining the operation of Customs entry processing. This should result both inmore efficient revenue collection and a reduced administrative burden on the trading
community. Streamlined processing of entries should also result in reduced clearancetimes.
At all our computerised ports, the full advanced computer system is already running.Arrangements will be made to notify traders within a locality when computerisation isimplemented our non computerised ports.
The Asycuda ++ features that you will observe can be summarised as follows:
The introduction of Direct Trader Input which will give the trade more controlover this important area resulting in a reduction in clearance times due to theelimination of validation failures and resultant forms C30 resolution. Traders
using remote DTI will be able to obtain information directly from the customscomputer relating to their business with customs.
A simplified Form 21 is printed in black and white resulting in substantial costsavings.
The need to have staff attending all day at the customs office will be removed.Presentation of payment with the entry submission will avoid the need to wait forassessment notices and lengthy queues at the cashiers.
The use of the new Customs Release Order will provide extra security to bothcustoms and the trade. This computer-generated document will be the evidencethat goods have been cleared from customs control.
In introducing these changes zimra has the interests of legitimate traders in mind atall times.

Officers have been trained on the new procedures prior to their introduction .Theasycuda system will have long-term benefits to all stakeholders.
1.0 Direct Trader Input (DTI).
1.1 What is DTI?
Direct Trader Input is the term used in situations where the Agent or importer isresponsible for the input of the Customs entry to the customs system. This may be byconnection to the Customs system directly or by use of an electronic message. Theuse of DTI is widespread in the Customs world. It is the normal mechanism by whichmost entries are received in all developed countries. It removes from Customs what is
basically a clerical task and places the responsibility where it properly belongs, withthe trade. It is a perfect example of a trade facilitation measure that benefits bothZimra and the trade.
1.2 Benefits
The reasons that DTI has been so widely introduced are two fold.
First from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authoritys (ZIMRA) perspective, it resultsin the reduction of the cost to ZIMRA sections of processing entries. This costsaving is not only in respect of the direct staff costs for data input personneland the associated management costs but also the reduced requirement forcomputer hardware, consumables and office space.
Further savings are made by the removal of the need to deal with datacorrection actions on entries that fail data capture controls. These savingsenable targeted improvements in other more important areas of interest toZIMRA. The result of these increased resources in these key areas inevitablyresults in an increased detection rate for irregularities.
From the trade perspective, the ability of the trader to ensure that his entry hasbeen accepted and validated by ZIMRA should mean a reduction in clearancetimes and the elimination of the administration of validity error resolution withZIMRA. They have control of an area where delays can otherwise occur. It alsoenables them to have up to date information on their entries and accounts on line.Since information will be on line, there will not be any F45s arising from wrongrates of duty and exchange rates.
1.3 DTI in ASYCUDA++
ASYCUDA++ is designed specifically with DTI at its core. Security is controlledcompletely by the system. The traders do not have direct access to the ZIMRAsystem.They communicate through a specifically designed program, MODBRK, by the use
of electronic messages.

These messages are pre-programmed and so cannot be altered by the trader inanyway. This means in simple terms that only messages requesting acceptance ofentries or requests for list of entries or account balances will be accepted and actioned
by the system. No other requests will be accepted by the ZIMRA system. Themessages are encrypted and so cannot be intercepted by a third party. The systemrecognises the individual agent or importer by his name and password. The systemlimits an individual agent or importer to submitting only their own entries and also toobtaining information regarding their own business with ZIMRA. This ensurescommercial confidentiality.
1.4 DTI options
There are two options available under ASYCUDA++ for using DTI in Zimbabwe.Both methods can be used.
1.4.1 Remote DTI
Under this method the approved DTI declarant, using information provided by theimporter or exporter prepares the customs declaration at their own premises using aPC. This may be stand alone or part of an in-house network, with a communicationlink to the ASYCUDA Customs Server. In this context the declarants PC is known asa client machine and receives messages from and transmits messages to theASYCUDA Customs Server.
The declaration information is input by the declarant and is subjected to interactivevalidation checks. When the full declaration information has been input a facilityexists for it to be checked against control data previously downloaded to the clientmachine from the customs server.
Any errors detected during the input phase or the local check must be rectified before
the next stage is initiated. In the event that any of the errors identified by the checkingprocess cannot be immediately rectified the declaration data may be stored locally onthe client machine or on the Customs server under a unique identity for retrieval at alater time.
If the local check is completed without errors the declaration data is then passed to thecustoms server with a request for registration.
The declaration input data is then automatically checked against control data held inthe customs server and if satisfactory will be allocated a Registration number.
The Registration response from the customs server will also provide the printout ofthe Form 21.
The computer generated Form 21 is to be signed by the declarant and, together withthe necessary supporting documents, delivered without delay to the appropriatecustoms office.Dependent on the nature of the telecommunications infrastructure available, DTIdeclarants may be able to log-in to any customs server irrespective of their geographiclocation but the Form 21, and the payment of any revenue due, must be presented tothe customs office identified on the Form 21.

1.4.2 Bureau Input
The procedure for the Input of declaration data using the Bureau facility is verysimilar to that described above. A special area for the Bureau is defined in the publicarea at the individual ZIMRA offices. Within the Bureau Office ASYCUDA clientcomputers with an associated printer are located.
This equipment will be supplied and manned by the Bureau Operator. Declarationdata may be input via the keyboard or from diskettes. In either case the computergenerated Form 21 must be signed by the declarant and, with the appropriatesupporting documentation, delivered immediately to the ZIMRA Entry ReceptionOffice/ Cash Office.
This option allows smaller declarants who do not have their own computers to useDTI. The bureau is connected directly to the Customs network.
2.0 The F21 Declaration Form
The new Form 21 is specifically designed to facilitate input of the information itcontains to the Asycuda computer system. Although much of the information is nowrequired in coded form the design also caters for the use of the form in a solelymanual environment.
The lodgement at a ZIMRA Office of a declaration signed by the declarant or his/herrepresentative shall indicate that the person concerned is declaring the goods inquestion for the Customs Procedure applied for and, without prejudice to the possibleapplication of any penal provisions, shall be equivalent to the engagement ofresponsibility in respect of:
-the accuracy of the information given in the declaration,-the authenticity of the documents attached, and-the observance of the obligations inherent in the entry of the goods inquestion under the Customs Regime / Procedure concerned.
The form contains, inter-alia, a brief pre-printed declaration as to the accuracy of theinformation it contains. For computerised ports, a computer-generated printout is thelegal document. The action of signing the document, writing your nationalidentification number and presenting it to ZIMRA indicates full acceptance of allresponsibilities.
Manual Environment
The form may be completed in manuscript using block capitals in blue or black ink orballpoint pen but must be legible and indelible. The form may also be completed bytypewriter or computer printer. There must be no erasures or overwriting on theforms. Any alterations should be made by crossing out the incorrect detail andinserting those required at the side or above the original.Any alterations made this way must be initialled. An authorised registered agent
before presentation to ZIMRA must sign the form.

In instances where the form is considered illegible ZIMRA may require a freshdeclaration to be completed.
Computerised EnvironmentThe declaration information is input by the declarant using DTI and is subjected tointeractive validation checks. When the full declaration information has been input
and there are no validation errors (C30 errors), the entry is registered by the CustomsServer.
A computer-generated printout is produced and it is the legal document, which mustbe signed, dated and the necessary supporting documents attached for delivery toZIMRA without delay.
The fields in a computer-generated printout are exactly the same as those on the newF21.
Code 777 will automatically appear on the duty rate column if ever there is acombination duty rate eg. 60% + $100.00/kg or if the duty rate is not ad valoremeg.$650/kg.
The basic F21 contains three distinct sections, viz:
- heading information which is common to the entire consignment and isidentifiable by a sequential number identifier within each box from 1 to30,
- one set of item information which provides details pertaining to aparticular commodity or procedure code. Each box containing iteminformation is identified from box '31' to '46'.
Individual item information elements are identifiable by a combination ofthe item consecutive number and the item numeric identifier, eg l:37
represents item number 1 box '37', (the commodity code box in item 1);similarly, 5:36 represents item number 5 box '36', (the preference code
box in item 5), etc. and lastly
- the summary total of duties and taxes for item 1 and declaration areaidentifiable by a numeric identifier between 47 and 51.
The basic form provides for goods of one tariff description or customs procedure to bedeclared.
A continuation sheet (Form No. F21 continuation page) must be used where thenumber of tariff descriptions or acceptable procedure codes exceeds one. This form
provides for a further three sets of tariff descriptions or procedure codes to bedeclared but the maximum number of items to any one declaration is 999.
Item information boxes on the continuation forms bear the same identification systemas used on the basic form.

2.1 Private prints of the new form
The Commissioner General may authorise the private printing of the new form.Private prints of the form must correspond precisely as to size, layout and all
particulars thereon with the officially printed copies. Further information on this
aspect is available from:
The Commissioner GeneralBox 4360Harare.Tel: 263 4 752731/790811Fax: 263 4 773161E-mail: [email protected]
ZIMRA reserve the right to reject at presentation any forms, which do not complywith these requirements.
2.2 Documents to accompany declarations, assembly of the declaration set:
2.2.1 Supporting documents
ZIMRA will retain a full set of the commercial documents normally accompanying adeclaration; these documents include commercial invoices, transport documents suchas AWBs, rail advice notes and Bills of Lading, documents supporting a claim to
preferential or reduced rates of duty and / or worksheets. Importers, exporters ordeclarants who wish to retain a set of similar documents for their own or otherorganisations use must ensure that a duplicate set is available at the time of first
presentation of the declaration and these will be returned when ZIMRA processing ofthe declaration has been completed.
The number of copies of the declaration form to be submitted to ZIMRA varies as tothe customs procedure(s) being used and whether or not the document will be
processed using the computerised system.
2.3 Amendments to declaration information
A form 45 is used to advise declarants of errors on entries. This form (Form 45) "Billof Entry Query Notification / Request to Amend" comprises four parts. Parts A and Dare for official use only, Parts B and C are for completion by declarants as necessary.
The form (Part A) is prepared in duplicate by ZIMRA when an error is detected onan entry .The original copy is forwarded to the declarant and is to be completed atPart B as appropriate and then returned to ZIMRA at the place where the entry wasfirst presented. Dependant upon the scope and/or magnitude of the error ZIMRAmay require the preparation and lodgement of a "substitute entry" to replace theoriginal. ZIMRA may also require an explanation as to the reason for any error inwhich case the requirement will be stated in Part B. In such instances Part C on thereverse of the form must be completed with the declarant's explanation for the error.

ZIMRA may also call for payment of a deposit pending fulfilment of Section 44 ofthe Customs and Excise Act.
Any additional supporting documents requested by ZIMRA must accompany theoriginal copy of the query advice upon its return to zimra.
The declaration contained in Part B of the form must be signed by the personresponding to the customs query and must be the importer/exporter or his/her dulyappointed agent. In signing this declaration the same conditions and responsibilities
pertaining to the signing of the declaration on the relevant Form 21 apply.
3.0 Customs Assigned Numbers (CAN's)
All commercial importers, exporters and their appointed agents must be in possessionof a Customs Assigned Number at the time of making a declaration to ZIMRA. TheCAN is the means by which the ZIMRA computer system recognises tradersregistered with ZIMRA.
Arrangements exist whereby any importer, exporter or agent who is not already inpossession of CAN may apply for registration. Application forms are available at alloffices or alternatively will be forwarded upon request made to:
I.T. Section.Zimbabwe Revenue Authority2
ndFloor, South, West Wing,
Kurima House.89 Nelson Mandela Avenue,Box 4360
Harare.
Telephone: 263 4 728355Fax: 263 4 793450E-mail: [email protected]
Once a CAN has been issued any changes concerning company name, status, addressor phone details must be advised to the Computer Office at the address given above.Completion of the CAN number box is mandatory on all declaration types.
4.0 Customs Procedure Codes (CPCs)
New CPCs are now in place to bring Zimbabwe into line with internationalstandards. They have been integrated into ASYCUDA ++.
4.1 Structure
The procedure codes are based on a 4 digit code that can define any of the normalcustoms procedures that apply anywhere in the world. An extra 3 digits are availablefor special rebates etc. that only apply in Zimbabwe.

4.2 Extended Procedures
The first group of 4 numbers is called the Extended Procedure. A list of these codesis attached. The Extended procedure is made up of 2 parts. The RequestedProcedureand the Previous Procedure.
The Requested Procedure, which comprises the first 2 numbers of the 4 digitextended procedure, represents the customs procedure that is being asked for.
The Previous Procedure, which comprises the 3rd and 4th number of the 4 digitsextended procedure, represents any previous customs procedure that the goodsconcerned have been entered under.
For example, when goods are entered for import into ZIMRA warehouse they wouldbe entered under extended procedure 7100.
Requested Procedure 71 WarehousingPrevious Procedure 00 No previous procedure
When those same goods are removed to home use they would use the extendedprocedure 4071.
Requested Procedure 40 Home usePrevious Procedure 71 Previously in warehouse
4.3 Additional Codes
The special national rebates etc. are handled by the next set of 3 numbers. Theseadditional codes follow as near as possible the old CPCs. The opportunity has beentaken to simplify and rationalise the existing codes. A list of the new additionalcodes is attached. It can be seen that they are almost identical to the old CPCs. Theiruse is simple. If goods were entered for home use by the government they would usethe full CPC 4000 403. If goods were re-imported after previous temporaryexportation for repair under guarantee they would use the full CPC 6021 602.
4.4 Model (Type) of Declaration
Different boxes have to be completed on the different types of entry to provide therequired information. When inputting an entry into ASYCUDA++ then the type of
entry must be specified. The Model of Declaration is simply the type of entry.
Entry types are made up of a prefix, which tells whether it is an import, export orexcise entry followed by the first number of the extended procedure. For example ahome use entry would be input on an IM 4Model of Declaration.
Each individual entry may have many lines or items each with different CPCs. Allthe individual CPCs must however start with the same number. It is possible for

example to use CPCs 4000 401and 4000 402on the same IM4entry but not 4000401 and 7100 000 as the first numbers in the CPCs are not the same.

5.0 Payment of customs duties and other charges
5.1 Pre-payment accounting
The prepayment facility is going to be used in both computerised and manualenvironments. This is a situation whereby declarants will pay first the exact amount ofduties and taxes that are reflected on the F21 on presentation of their entries toZIMRA for processing.
5.2 Prepayment Account Numbers
Each declarant / importer or exporter is given an account number which is hisCustoms Assigned Number (CAN). Although the CAN is national, the PrepaymentAccount Number is managed per office of clearance. The account number is writtenin box 48 of the F21.
Entries which are submitted to Customs without being paid for will not be processed.Customs accept no responsibility for delays in clearance arising from an insufficient
balance existing in the account. No entries will be cleared until the account is restoredto a credit balance.A statement of the account is produced by the computer (when required) detailingentries cleared against the account number, any credit amounts paid in during the
period since production of the previous account statement and the account balance.
On assessment, money in the prepayment account is automatically transferred into theZIMRA Revenue Account. Assessment notices are not going to be generated.If the amount transferred into revenue is less than the amount paid in the prepaymentaccount, a credit balance will remain in the account. Such monies can be used forfuture importations.When the declarant / importer requires a refund, a Form 46 must be prepared toreclaim the overpaid amount. The Form 46 must be completed in triplicate and must

be supported by suitable evidence to substantiate the claim including copies of theoriginal computer produced Registration Advice, Payment Receipt and a CustomsRelease Order.
5.3 Entry Reception/ Cash Office- This function is the first point at which ZIMRAreceive the entry from the agent. Entries will be received at Entry Reception having
been registered (that is, in a computerised environment.) In a manual environment, thecashier issues an entry identification number.
Upon first presentation all entries are subjected to the following checks, which areaimed at ensuring that:a) the entry is proper to the location at which it is presented and,
b) the form is legible and complies with the requirements for a computergenerated Form 21,
c) it has been properly completed, e.g. signed and dated.d) the basic supporting documents are attached ande) the correct payment is attached.
The face vet checks will be applied and any errors should be referred to the agent andthe documents rejected.
Receipt of the entry at the Entry Reception marks the official receipt of the entry intocustoms control. Once received at the Cash Office the entry should remain alwayswithin customs control and is never subsequently returned to the agent.
The payment will be recorded in ASYCUDA against the prepayment accountdeclared on the form 21.
Payment may be effected by the following methods:-cash,-bank cheque, or-other cheques guaranteed by a special bank guarantee held by theController/Co-ordinator at the port of presentation of the entry.
Payment MUST be made on presentation of the entry to ZIMRA. If payment is notreceived within the due time ZIMRA reserve the right to cancel the entry and require
presentation of a new entry.
5.4 Private Importations
For all private importations, the Declaration Cash system is used. This facility is
whereby an assessment is done first and an assessment notice/ payment advice isgenerated for payment to be done at the cash office.
Before the F49 declaration his registered and assessed, the importer should be advisedof the amount payable and must have ready cash on himself.
For companies importing goods of a negligible value,(that does not require a Bill ofEntry) they are to clear on F49 but can use the prepayment facility.

6.0 Customs Release Order
6.1 Computerised environment
The Customs Release Order is going to be the authority to release goods from ZIMRAcontrol. It is a security document printed on security paper (with a customs logo as a
watermark) on size A5.The Customs Release Order is also called form 21A (F21A).It is a continuation of the bill of entry F21.
A Customs Release Order is onlyissued when an entry has been processed throughcustoms and all duties and taxes paid. It is issued in duplicate, the first copy isattached to the declarants set of documents and the second copy onto the ZIMRA set.
If there is no credit balance in the prepayment account, an entry cannot be assessedand a release order cannot be generated.
After an entry has passed through ZIMRA, the declarant / importer or exporter mustmake sure that he gets a Customs Release Order attached to his set of documentswhich he collects from ZIMRA.
**NB. At all ports of exit, a release order must be attached to the documents for
acquittal otherwise delays will be experienced at ports of exits where Zimbabwe
Revenue Officers want to verify whether such documents have passed through
the office of clearance.
This measure has been put in place since the declaration input of entries into thecustoms computers is now controlled by the trade using DTI.
6.2 Manual Environment
A manually completed Customs Release Order is going to be issued for every entrythat has been processed. It is going to be issued in triplicate and distributed in thesame manner as in a computerised environment. The third copy (fast copy) is for audit
purposes.
7.0 Clearance of Household effects
In order to reduce the burden of completing multi-item entries for consignments ofhousehold effects, special arrangements apply in relation to the entry of such goodswhich are for export (Type/Model of declaration EXI), for removal under bond or intransit through Zimbabwe. (Type/Model of declaration IM8)
Provided always that the consignment comprises only bona-: fide household effects asingle item entry will be accepted covering all the goods in the consignment.The Commodity Code to be used in such circumstances must be that which attractsthe highest rate of duty in relation to the goods within the consignment.The information in (Description of goods) must state the nature of the goodsto that Commodity Code and additionally, generally describe the remainder of the
-

Asycuda++ Trade Manual 2005 (version 1)
12
goods as "bona-: fide household effects".
In instances where this arrangement may cause abnormal distortion to trade statisticsZIMRA reserve the right to determine a more representative Commodity Code andrequire amendment of the entry as necessary.
8.0 Non-availability of the computerised system
Due to unforeseen occurrences it is possible that occasions will arise where thecomputer system is unavailable; such periods of non-availability are likely to beextremely rare and of relatively short duration.
The procedures to be adopted during periods of non-availability of the computersystem are known as 'Fallback' and cover two situations. 'Short Term Fallback' (STF)is the name given to the procedures adopted where the anticipated period of non-availability is not likely to exceed 24 hours. On other occasions the system adopted isknown as 'Long Term Fallback' (LTF).
9.0 The Manual Procedure System
9.1 Declarant
The declarant manually prepares the Bill of Entry in the prescribed form. The numberof copies needed is spelt out in CPCs descriptive notes. (Section 12.0) All supportingdocuments are to be attached on the F21 before submission to ZIMRA for processing.Prepayment remains mandatory in all manual environments and payment must bedone on presentation of the Bill of Entry.
9.2 Entry Reception/Cash Office
The declarant will submit to the officer a signed entry, together with all supportingdocuments and the exact amount of money. He/she will get a receipt for the amount
paid.
9.3 Entry Processing
If the Entry is correct, a manual Customs Release Order is issued and can be collectedfrom the delivery office.
If a declaration has an error a F45 detailing the nature of the error will be issued andthis can also be collected from the delivery office.
All queries should be channelled to the Queries Section and not to individual officers.
