Returning Citizen paperwork for sending a container

Hi @JPD1,

I would suggest that you get your chosen shipper in the UK to liaise with their counterpart in Mauritius so that you get the correct information including co-ordinating on the ground in Mauritius.  After all, your shipper should have a duty of guiding you properly especially if you are doing a door to door service shipping package with them and it is in their interest to make sure all the paper work is in order.

Your chosen shipping company takes care of all the paperwork and have an appointed agent on the ground in Mauritius .

The agent contacts you in Mauritius and guides and advises you through the whole process .

I moved my container from South Africa in Agust 2023 , also as a returning citizen , and was very impressed with the whole process .

Hi

I have sent 2 full container load ro mru as returning citizen. The most important paperwork is your bill of lading, which is provided by your shipping agent. Essentially the bill of lading contains a list of items you're shipping. List does not need to be detailed. A separate list, detailed need to be provided in your possession when going to customs in mru. That detailed list is the working list by the shipping agent in mru which is submitted to customs.

Please do not place or itemize prominently items for construction, like plastic conduit pipes, ceramic tiles, electrical flex etc. They'll be taxed.
