Trade or commercial licence for Zimbabwe: what and why
Licences prove that your business is allowed to manufacture or trade a product: municipal trade licences, factory licences, drug manufacturing licences, FSSAI licences and similar permits. Trade, factory, manufacturing, drug and FSSAI licences are issued by municipal, state or central authorities depending on the activity.
Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.
Companies dealing with Zimbabwe are most often asked for a legalised trade or commercial licence during product registration by regulators, as well as for plant or supplier approval and tenders.
A trade or commercial licence issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Zimbabwe in New Delhi.
