Six things that shape a Mauritius order.
Facts from the Mauritius Revenue Authority’s importer guidance; your broker confirms the procedure for an individual or a company.
First-time importers register with MRA Customs. MRA lists a Tax Account Number, the certificate of incorporation and Business Registration Number for a company, a copy of the invoice and bill of lading, and an identity card or passport.
MRA private importers, checked 21 October 2026Invoice and packing list, the arrival papers from the shipping line or forwarder, evidence of overseas freight and insurance costs, and any permits from other agencies.
MRA private importers, checked 21 October 2026Customs duty is levied on the transaction value of the goods; VAT at 15 percent is then calculated on the duty-inclusive value. The rate for each item comes from the MRA Tariff Unit.
MRA private importers, checked 21 October 2026Sea freight normally arrives at Port Louis. Customs charges are paid to the MRA cashier in Mauritian currency, in cash, by cheque or electronically.
MRA private importers, checked 21 October 2026For verandas, pool decks and sea-facing rooms, ask the supplier for material specifications, care requirements and the stated limits of the finish before approving the product.

Importer readiness
Prepare the importer file with the order.
MRA’s guidance describes first-time registration and the documents for clearance. Ask the broker to confirm the right procedure for an individual or a company import.
Prepare these five things
- Individual or company importer details, as applicable
- Project address and the person authorised to receive the goods
- Invoice and packing-list information aligned to the order
- Freight and insurance cost documents, plus applicable permits
- Confirmed site readiness, unloading, assembly and storage scope
Checked 21 October 2026. Commercial projects and any exemption or tax treatment need the broker’s confirmation for that import.

FoshanMauritius questions
Before you send the brief.
Short answers with the next document to read. Tax and clearance specifics are confirmed by your clearing professional.
Can I source indoor and outdoor furniture together?
Yes, the sourcing brief can cover both. Keep their specifications separate and ask suppliers to document suitability, maintenance and any finish limitations for the planned location.
What if the villa is still under construction?
Use an agreed readiness date when planning production and shipping. Have storage, timing changes and delivery responsibilities priced and confirmed before dispatch.
Can a private home import be treated the same as a hotel order?
Have the broker confirm the procedure for the importer and goods. The documents, treatment and any applicable permits should be checked for that project rather than carried across from another buyer’s order.
How are duty and VAT worked out?
MRA levies customs duty on the transaction value and VAT at 15 percent on the duty-inclusive value; the item rate comes from the Tariff Unit. Ask the broker for a shipment-specific estimate alongside the sourcing quote.
Can I buy remotely?
Yes. Supplier comparisons, photo and video reviews, samples and written approvals all work from a clear brief. A Foshan visit can be planned around the same room schedule if you travel.
What should I send for a Mauritius project?
The floor plan, room count, furniture references, product budget and site-ready date. Identify indoor and exposed outdoor areas, and tell us whether the importer will be an individual or a company.
