Used machinery into Namibia via Walvis Bay: declaration notes
Used machines entering via Walvis Bay need age, hours and safety-device statements consistent with shipping documents.

Key points
- Used machinery declarations must match inspection reports; value or year gaps trigger inspections.
- Typical risk is mismatch between transit and clearance documents, leaving cargo in port storage.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
