Mauritius' ICTA announced that commencing Oct. 1, 2019 licensed dealers need to apply import clearance via ICTA web portal

Information to Manufacturer/Representative of Manufacturer

Effective 1 October 2019, the Information and Communication Technologies (Clearance to Import ICT Equipment) Regulations 2019 requires that a licensed dealer be in possession of all relevant compliance documents (such as the technical brochure and the Declaration of Conformity or test reports) for the purpose of applying for and obtaining a clearance to import radio communication equipment into the Republic of Mauritius.

Manufacturers or their representatives, who would wish their ICT equipment to be commercialised in the Mauritian market, are therefore only expected to provide the local licensed dealers, importing and selling their ICT equipment, with all the necessary compliance documents.

Application for type approval may be considered from Manufacturers, or their representative, wishing to commercialise, through licensed dealers, radio equipment, as categorised in List B only, on the territory of Mauritius.

No Type approval certificate will be issued to the Manufacturer. The make and model of the type approved equipment will be published under the list of type approved equipment on the ICTA website.

Please refer to List of categories of ICT Equipment which may be prohibited, free for entry without license/type approval or under declaration of compliance category. https://www.icta.mu/categories.html

Applications to the ICT Authority for a clearance to import an ICT equipment for both commercial and non-commercial purposes must be made through the ICTA Online Portal provided. 

All Applicants are required to register and log-in the system prior to submitting any application for clearance. https://www.icta.mu/applyonline/
