The Printing Industry in Zimbabwe

  • As the economy in Zimbabwe has grown, there is an increased need to buy printers, consumables such as inks and makeups and cleaning solutions.
  • Zimbabwe’s print industry strives to be the best in marketing and advertising, helping Zimbabweans compete successfully in marketing & advertising of their products and services throughout Zimbabwe and the globe.
  • New technology has helped in that respect; a smaller print-run is now possible, meaning that publishers can take a chance on books that are not likely to sell in big numbers, including fiction and poetry.
  • With rising digitalization, printing firms are recommended to be more than just a printer in this age and offer a variety of services while adopting the digital printing model and automating most of their operations for efficiency and effectiveness.
  • As a result, more people in Zimbabwe are looking for printers for sale whether from domestic sources or via imports.

The Manufacturing Industry in Zimbabwe

  • About 70 percent of the population depends on the agricultural sector for subsistence and the sector contributes approximately 40 percent of overall exports.
  • While in both countries the role of private foreign investment has been extremely important, in the Côte d’Ivoire industrial expansion has been dominated by foreigners, while in Zimbabwe, although ‘settlers’ dominated up to the late 1970s, an effective process of indigenization has begun and is continuing.
  • The chemical industry of Zimbabwe offers a varied range of products including fertilizers, pesticides, paints and varnishes, pharmaceuticals, soaps and cleansing products, perfumes and cosmetics.

What Regulations Are There on Importing Printers and Ink to Zimbabwe?

  • Zimbabwe's trade policy objectives are to elevate trade as the engine for sustainable economic growth and development, and to stimulate the productive sectors of the economy towards higher productivity, efficiency, and international competitiveness.
  • The Zimbabwe-Consignment Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) Programme controls the importation of hazardous and sub-standard products. Bureau Veritas has been appointed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to verify and assess conformity of goods in the source (exporting) country (pre-shipment verification).
  • Zimbabwe is mostly hampered by import restrictions and restricted access to the services market, and is dependent on the export of minerals to China and the imports of energy and consumption goods from South Africa.
  • Zimbabwe is a founding Member to the WTO since 1995. Its simple average MFN tariff is 17.8 per cent in 2012. While average tariffs on most agricultural and non-agricultural products range between 6 per cent and 33 per cent, beverages together with tobacco, and clothing have exceptionally high average tariffs, which are 47.6 per cent and 88.2 per cent respectively (WTO 2012).
  • The transit through Zimbabwe of hazardous substances is prohibited unless under a transit permit and— (a) such substances are exported by or imported to a State— (i) that is a contracting party to the Basel Convention; or (ii) under a bilateral or multilateral agreement to which both States are a party.
  • Because inks contain hazardous chemicals, it is important to follow Zimbabwe’s import regulations.

Why Should Zimbabwe Import Printers and Ink?

  1. Availability - The local industry has limited capacity and some clients in Zimbabwe require printers and ink promptly.
  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Zimbabwe, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Zimbabwe can have variant product quality.
