Customs Mobile Declaration
sw.gov.rw/md
RRA has developed a new mobile friendly web application which can
be used to declare goods to Rwanda Customs, while crossing a border.
This mobile web application will facilitate speedy clearance since goods
can be declared in advance of
arrival at a border. For goods to qualify for clearance via this application, they should be
valued at less than Rwandan Francs (RWF) 500,000.
To be able to use this application, you need to register your
credentials at the nearest Customs Office. Your credentials will be
used to notify you of actions that have taken place on your declaration. For instance, if
payment of Customs duties and taxes is required, the payment details will be sent instantly
via SMS to your mobile number. The mobile number used will be the one that you provided to
Customs during the registration process.

submit some information and documents to government authorities to
comply
with import, export and transit-related regulatory requirements. the
importers or their brokers moving from one agency to another and most of

time, once one step is completed, the information is not received not
time.
The implementation of Electronic Single Window is expected to solve this
problem whereby trade related information and/or documents required will
only be submitted once at a single entry point. The system will allow
traders to lodge information with a single web-based portal to fulfil
all
import or export related regulatory requirements.
What are the objectives to invest in ReSW?
ESW project aims to facilitate international trade by expediting and
simplifying information flows between trade and government institutions
dealing with all kind of controls required to imported goods. However
the
following are specific objectives of the project:
Simplify cross border trade to enhance the trade competitiveness
through
improvements to trade logistics systems and processes.
Enhance information exchange and sharing amongst customs,
stakeholders
and importers.

and
government institutions.
Computerize international trade regulatory requirements.
