Uganda COC (Certification of Conformity)

       The mandatory Uganda COC certification is tentatively scheduled for re-implementation on December 3, 2012. All products within the regulated catalogue exported to Uganda must apply for a COC (Certification of Conformity) before shipment to clear customs at the destination port.

       The Uganda National Bureau of Standards will oversee the operation of the pre-shipment inspection program. If issues such as quantity discrepancies or valuation problems are found with export goods, they will be stopped before export. Uganda will also verify at entry points whether imported products have undergone pre-shipment inspection, ensuring products comply with applicable Ugandan technical regulations and mandatory standards, meet Ugandan consumer requirements for product quality, health, safety, and environmental protection, and prevent substandard and counterfeit goods from entering Uganda.

 

Regulated Products:

1. Toys

2. Electrical and electronic products

3. Automotive-related products (e.g., automotive glass, starter batteries, tires, etc.)

 4. Chemical products

 5. Metal materials and gas appliances

 6. Textiles, leather, plastics, and rubber

 7. Furniture

 8. Paper and stationery

 9. Personal protective equipment

 10. Food
