Presidential Legislative Decree No. 10/19, also known as the Customs Tariffs Law, specifies in Art. 13 the eligibility criteria for personal goods shipped through Postal Services that are exempt from tariffs under certain circumstances. It states that goods for personal use sent through the post office, through courier or express cargo operators are exempt from the dispatch procedure and payment of customs duties as long as they cumulatively are below the limit per traveler's remittance, set at 2,640 Fiscal Correction Unit (UCF), the equivalent of 232,320 kwanzas (approximately USD 200).

While certification is not explicitly required, there are reports of many products distributed in Angola with ISO and CE markings. In 2015, the Angolan government, through the Ministry of Industry, established the Angolan Institute of Accreditation (IAAC), which has recently merged with IANOQQ (Angolan Institution of Standardization and Quality) to form a new accreditation body: the INIQ (National Institute of Quality Infrastructures). Foreign entities can also provide accreditation services. The INIQ is the point of contact for Southern African Development Community Accreditation Services (SADCAS). SADCAS is a multi-economy accreditation body established under Art. 17 of the Standards and Technical Regulation on Trade to the SADC Protocol on Trade. Its primary purpose is to ensure that conformity assessment service providers, such as calibration/testing/medical laboratories, certification, and inspection bodies, operating in SADC member states that do not have national accreditation bodies, are subject to oversight by an authoritative body.
