Uganda Revenue Authority changed how some businesses import goods. Companies can skip asking permission for certain tax-free items starting Monday, June 2nd. The tax agency aims to expedite customs processing and reduce waiting times. Business owners can process six types of products without approval from customs officials. This affects fertilizers, medical supplies, farming equipment, hotel gear, hospital items, and factory parts.

Importers must use the ASYCUDA computer system directly. They still need proper paperwork to prove their goods qualify for tax breaks. The Document Processing Centre will check all forms and approve shipments. Workers will follow East African Community trade rules when reviewing applications. Companies and their agents can handle these cases without extra steps.

The revenue authority aims to simplify trade for businesses. Experts say that removing red tape helps companies move products more efficiently. Uganda wants to attract more investment and boost economic growth. Officials believe simpler rules will encourage more international trade. The changes target common import categories that create delays at borders.
