About this statute

This Act may be cited as the Border Management and Trade Facilitation Act, 2018. This section defines key terms used in the Act, including border authorities, border controls, border agreements, officers, and trade-facilitation concepts. Zambia’s laws and an adjoining party State’s laws apply in the control zone to enable border controls at a one-stop border post. The Minister may add or remove an applicable law from the Schedule by statutory notice, and the Act prevails if an applicable law conflicts with it. The Zambia Revenue Authority is the lead agency at ports of entry and coordinates border operations; the customs services division must perform the lead agency’s functions under this Act.
