It is reported that Decree No. 2025 creates burdensome restrictions and administrative requirements for trade in mobile phones. The Decree establishes measures to control the import and export of intelligent mobile phones, cellular mobile phones, and their parts, susceptible to classification under Customs Tariff subheading 8517.12.00.00 and 8517.70.00.00, as part of its strategy to address the theft of mobile phones.
Chapter I of Decree No. 2025 establishes the import conditions of mobile phones. According to Art. 3, mobile phones whose IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is registered in the databases referred to in Art. 106 of No. Law 1,453 of 2011 may not be imported. But, importation is permitted if: (a) it is an IMEI reported in the positive database, (ii) in the case of import in compliance with a guarantee or (iii) the re-import of previously exported phones. Also, intelligent mobiles can be imported if the travellers carry them when entering the national territory as a personal possession (and no more than three units). Importation is also allowed under the modality of postal traffic and urgent shipments if it is just one mobile/intelligent phone that fulfils customs regulations."
Art. 1 of Decree No. 2,142 amended Art. 3 of Decree No. 2025 (Chapter I), yet the conditions for importing mobile phones remain largely unchanged. While these restrictions predate the amendment, Decree No. 2,142 introduced a more lenient regime allowing the import under the modality of postal traffic and urgent shipments if it is just one mobile/intelligent phone that fulfils customs regulations.
