Which other government agencies may be involved in the import and export of goods?

Even though we are the agency responsible for the cross-border movement of goods in Timor-Leste, other government agencies may also have their own specific requirements. For example, if you are importing or exporting foodstuffs, you may need a permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. In most cases, the type of goods will determine whether other government agencies will be involved. Agencies may include: Autoridade Portuáriu Timor-Leste (APORTIL); Ministry of Health; Ministry of Transport and Communications; Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry; Polícia Nacional de Timor-Leste; Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
