The Namibia Revenue Agency is establishing a centralised e-commerce clearance centre aimed at streamlining the importation of goods purchased online, particularly under the ‘Order With Me’ initiative.
Announced by minister of finance Ericah Shafudah during the tabling of the national budget, the centre will function as a single, dedicated hub to process online imports more efficiently.
Shafudah said the new centre is designed to address growing challenges linked to the rapid expansion of e-commerce in Namibia.
“The rapid growth of e-commerce poses challenges for small and medium enterprises in the ‘Order With Me’ initiative, including high transaction costs and reliance on multiple intermediaries,” said Shafudah.
This centre is expected to be operational by 30 April.
