Brunei’s customs legislation was amended to harmonize its tariff nomenclature, make custom-related information more readily available to traders and the public, align its laws with the WTO agreements and intellectual property protections, and improve the appeal procedures. All imports into Brunei must be accompanied by:
 
  • A bill of lading/delivery order or airway bill;
  • Packing list;
  • Commercial invoice;
  • Three copies of the customs declaration form, which include the number of individual packages;
  • Detailed description of the goods being imported;
  • Gross and net weights or quantities of packages;
  • Value (both ‘free on board’ and ‘cost, insurance and freight’);
  • Place of shipment and destination; and
  • Country of origin.
The invoice must be signed by the exporter or seller. An importer can request an exemption of duty determination to be issued by the BEDB and a certificate of origin may be requested, which can be attained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Required documents for customs declarations can now be submitted online via the e-customs system and online payment services are available via the Brunei Darussalam National Single Window.
