ECONOMY
The economic success of Botswana is attributable to successful exploitation of its vast mineral resources, especially diamonds.
Botswana continues to be the largest exporter of gem diamonds in the world in terms of value.
The economy of Botswana has since the commencement of the global financial crisis realized an economic performance
below her potential. In 2008, only a sluggish real economic growth of 3.1 percent was recorded and a contraction of 3.7% was
then subsequently recorded for 2009. This being the case though, the economy of Botswana has started to show some good
performance in line with the global economic recovery. In particular, the improvement of diamond and copper sales in the world
market has seen the mining sector experience a 21.7% increase from a low base. This great growth rate of the mining sector,
together with the growth of the rest of the economy at 6.3%, saw the economy of Botswana register a real economic rate of
about 10.7% over the four quarters ending September 2010. The economy is expected to grow in real terms by 6.8% in 2011
and 7.1% in 2012, this being subject to a growth over the same period of at least 15% and 6.2% respectively for the mining
sector as the largest contributor to GDP.
One major pillar of Botswana’s macroeconomic policy is to maintain a stable and manageable inflation and exchange rate
in order to improve Botswana’s competitiveness in international markets and contribute to the broader national objectives
of sustainable economic development and employment creation. Year-on-year inflation continues to be under control having
reduced from 8.2% in 2009 to 6.9% in 2010. It is anticipated that the rate will fall within the medium term inflation objective
of the bank of Botswana at 3 – 6% from the second quarter of 2011. With the prospects of a low and stable inflation in the
medium term, the Bank of Botswana embarked on an “economic growth supporting” monetary policy that seeks to maintain
price stability as well as influence the inflation outlook. The Bank Rate has been reduced to 9.5% in December 2010 and this
was followed by commercial banks’ reduction of the prime lending rate to 11% as of December 2010.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN BOTSWANA
Botswana’s economy is still dependent on the mining sector, in particular diamonds, which contributes around a third of the
country’s GDP. The Botswana Government’s economic strategy therefore is to diversify the economy away from the mineral
sector hence our industrial strategy is geared towards expo-oriented manufacture and services.
The identified potential investment opportunities are based on the availability of raw materials locally or on imported raw
materials for further transformation. The country has a young, sound and vibrant economy and the potential and the choice of
investment opportunities is much wider for the prospective investor.
The available opportunities include but are not limited to the following:
Industries
Opportunities
Textiles, garments and
accessories
Manufacture of various textile and garments to take advantage of the Contonou Agreement and Africa
Growth Opportunity Act, which allow entry in to EU and (USA) market free of duty and quota.
Leather Products
Setting up of a modern tannery to process raw hides to finished leather, which would lead to the creation
of downstream leather industries such as the manufacture of leather shoes, bags, belts, etc. Raw hides are
available in Botswana
Glass Products
Raw materials for glass manufactures are available in abundance – silica sand, quartz, quartzite, limestone
and soda ash.
Information Cmmunication
and Technology (ICT)
Opportunities are available in call centres, software development, data capture and processing systems.
Jewellery
Cutting, Polishing and setting of diamond and semi-precious stones.
Tourism
Diversification into ecotourism, cultural and educational development on other untouched and unspoiled areas.
Investor Services:
One - Stop Service Centre
The special facility provides professional services to investors in the country, both foreign and citizen as well as both new and
existing enterprises. The main objective being to enable investors particularly in the manufacturing sector secure the necessary
clearances and approvals for manufacturing licenses, residence and work permits as well as infrastructural facilities like land,
factory building, water, electricity etc, in minimal delays.
Property Division - Industrial Estate
Development
The Property Division is involved in the development and managing of industrial properties for the authority. The division is also
involved in the acquisition of industrial land for building general factory shells which are leased out to investors in manufacturing
sector. The emphasis is on export-oriented manufactures. Rent ranges from P12- P15 per square meter. The minimum space
requirement is 500/m2 of clear office space. Large units measuring over 2000m2 which are sub divisible and are provided for
big manufacturers.
For a company to qualify for BEDIA industrial shell, the investor has to go through the BEDIA Investment Promotion Division
where the proposed project will be subjected to a rigorous screening process. It is only after the investment Division is satisfied
with the project that the Property Section will accept application for space.
Apsects of Exports in the Economy
It is universally agreed that exports are the single most important driver of economic growth in industrialised nations, and
therefore there is every reason for countries seeking to improve their economies to work towards increasing exports year over
year to generate jobs and wealth. This, in short, leads to a diversified economy. For companies, foreign markets offer a great
many benefits such as additional business opportunities to expand, to specialize or diversify production, achieve economies
of scale, prolong the life cycle of products, increase profits and gain a better understating of foreign competition. Despite all
this, local manufacturers are characterised by a lack of expertise, preparedness and perseverance about foreign markets. Thus
it is necessary for BEDIA to intervene and assist these companies through export promotion activities, export development
programs, and contact missions which would allow them a conducive environment to trade in foreign markets. Like other
developing countries, Botswana is engaged in diversifying its export portfolio as well as increasing its export sales, as this will
offset the negative balance of trade the country has experienced over the past few years. Various means and interventions have
been put in place to attain this objective.

EXPORT ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
The Export Enterprise Development Department is mandated mainly with the task of identifying market outlets for manufactured
products, with a major strategic focus on seeking and promoting products that are suitable to enter the export market. This is
done through identifying and researching new markets to facilitate targeted export promotion aimed at selected buyers. It also
investigates opportunities in markets that have trade agreements with Botswana, so as to maximize benefits.

Export Development Programme (EDP)
The Export Development Programme (EDP) aims at diversifying and growing the country’s exports by training companies to
be export ready. It also targets sectors identified in the National Export Strategy. The approach also aims at ensuring that
companies with potential but falling outside the scope of the sectors that have been identified are not overlooked during
selection. The training endeavors to develop selected companies to gain hands-on practical experience in various aspects
of production to help improve product design, quality and productivity. Companies are also educated on the techniques of
developing market-driven products whilst incorporating a robust Export Marketing Plan within their Business models. All
selected companies are visited to conduct needs analysis or assessment, which aims at identifying each company’s Training
and Technical needs requirements (for example, product improvement, production, quality/standards control, export marketing
and market entry.)
The programme assists and encourages companies to achieve a widespread understanding of export marketing plans,
productivity improvement in the factories, product design including product diversity, patenting, branding and business
management systems.
Three key objectives of this program are:
i. to keep companies that are new exporters active in foreign markets (consolidation of gains and growth on one market)
ii. promote market diversification of companies that have gone beyond the stage of new exports on already penetrated territories and
iii. Increase the number of new exporting companies and new exportable products.
Export Promotion Interventions
Missions and Trade Fairs
• To promote Botswana products in foreign markets
• To expose Botswana manufacturers in foreign markets
• To penetrate new markets
• To expand market share share regionally and internationally
These are practical activities BEDIA carries out in foreign countries alongside Botswana manufacturers. Objectively these
foreign promotion interventions are carried out to:
• Increase the number of Botswana companies that export by heightening the export awareness of potential exporters, training
and guiding them to make their first export sale(s).
• Increase export sales by Botswana companies that have the potential to export or are already exporting by intensifying
their awareness, training and guiding them to consolidate their presence in foreign markets and assisting them to become
diversified exporters.

Botswana Customs and Excise Procedures
Introduction
This notice is intended to provide an overview of Customs procedures applicable in the Republic of Botswana. The document
focuses on the types of rebates that are offered to manufacturers and other producers as well as concessions provided by
the various trade agreements, which Botswana has entered into with other countries. The document also gives an outline of
import and export clearance procedures.
Customs and Excise Clearance – General Overview
The Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) Customs and Excise Division is mandated in terms of the Customs and Excise
Duty Act, CAP 50.01 of the Laws of Botswana and other relevant legislations to implement the various provisions relating to
imports and exports.
As a general rude any person who imports, exports or manufactures goods upon which customs and excise duties and Value
Added Tax (VAT) are levied or which may be exempted from the payment of these taxes is required to declare the goods and
pay the application duties and VAT in terms of the Customs and Excise Duty Act and Value Added Tax Act on the prescribed
forms. Any failure to comply with the law renders the offender liable to fines and or imprisonment and the goods liable to
forfeiture.
The Customs and Excise Duty Act also requires that any person who clears goods for customs purposes should engage a
Customs Agent or employ persons who are competent to do so.
Customs and Excise Duties
Botswana is a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) which also comprises the Kingdom of Lesotho, Republic
of Namibia, the Republic of South Africa and the Kingdom of Swaziland. In general, goods imported into Botswana from other
SACU member states are free from Customs duties. However most goods would attract Value Added Tax (VAT) unless they
are either exempted or zero rated from payment of the tax. Goods imported from countries outside SACU attract customs
duties at rates specified in the Customs and Excise Tariff Book as amended from time to time. Customs duties are paid on the
free on Board (FOB) value of the imported goods against a prescribed declaration form formally known as a bill of entry, (Form
SAD 500), which can be purchased from local stationer outlets.
A tariff book. Which details tariff rates applicable on imports into Botswana, is available for sale at all regional Customs and
Excise offices for P1000.00
Customs Duties Rebates
Customs Rebates are conditional exemptions from payment of customs duties, which are afforded certain specified industries
registered with the BURS – Customs and Excise Division to manufacture goods using imported raw materials. The scope and
types of rebates are contained in the Customs and Excise tariff book and briefly described below.
a. Industrial Rebates
Industrial Rebates are specified under Schedule 3 of the Customs and Excise Tariff, and are normally granted to manufacturers
who import raw materials from outside SACU for production of goods for domestic consumption. The Industrial Rebates
offer a full or partial exemption of customs duty on the imported raw materials and are generally accessible to a wide range
of industries ceases as soon as manufacture has been competed. However, VAT is charged on any products, which are
consumed in Botswana.
b. General Rebates
Raw materials that are not exempted under the foregoing provision may, where they are imported for manufacturing and
ultimate re-exportation, be exempted from payment of customs duties under General Rebate of duty concession provided
for under Schedule 4 of the Customs and Excise Tariff. Exemption from payment in this case extends to both customs
duties and VAT. It is perhaps worth noting that only companies that are producing exclusively for export can register for
this rebate of duty concession.
c. Customs Duty Drawback
In terms of the Duty Drawback System as specified under Schedule 5 of the Customs and Excise tariff, manufactures for
the export market are allowed to pay duty on their imported raw materials which they can claim after their products have
been exported. However, it is a condition that the claim for refund of the duties be lodged with the Customs and Excise
Division within six months of export of the goods.
19
d. Duty Credit Certificate Scheme
Textile Clothing Industry Development Programme (TCIDP) is a product specific rebate facility. It is currently limited to
textile producers’ (e.g. clothing and clothing accessories, household textiles, yarn, fabrics and other textiles) that have been
exporting their products to markets outside the SACU area for a period of at least a year. Unlike other rebates of duty, the
amount of duty that a company qualifies for as credit under DCC is calculated as a percentage of the value of the exported
goods as opposed to actual rate of customs duty. Currently, the value of credit certificates as a percentage of sales value
of proven exports is: 25% for clothing and accessories; 8% for yarn; 17.5% for household textiles; and 12.5% fabrics and
other textiles. Once a trader has been issued with a DCC, subsequent importation of raw materials will be allowed free of
customs duties against the balance on the DCC until it is exhausted.
TCIDP beneficiary may sell the credit earned to third parties but may not redeem it for cash.
Registration and De-registration for Rebates
A company which intends to benefit from the above rebate concessions is required to apply to the Commissioner of Customs
and Excise to be licensed before production can commence. Such applicants are required to furnish the following documents:
i.
Application forms (CE 185 and CE 185.4A3) may be obtained freely from any inland Customs and Excise office. Such
forms require the following details; names of directors, nature and quantity of materials to be imported, expected annual
production and details of the manufacturing process involved;
ii. A sketch plan of the geographical location and machinery layout of the factory;
iii. A certificate of incorporation and a trading license must also be attached to affirm that the business is legally registered to operate in Botswana;
iv. A completed Customs Surety Bond Form CE 185C duly certified by a recognized band or insurance company in Botswana
pledging to pay for the duties in the event the applicant fails to do so. The bond amount should be sufficient to cover
potential customs duties and/or VAT on the maximum quantity of raw materials that can be stored at the manufacturer’s
premises and;
v. An import permit issued by the relevant Government Ministry or Department if some of the raw materials to be imported are restricted.
Before any establishment can be licensed, an inspection is carried out by the Customs and Excise Division to ensure that it
conforms to all the legal requirements.
When the Commissioner of Customs and Excise is satisfied that all conditions have been met, a licence will be issued in the
prescribed Form CE 102 to the applicant upon payment of a fee of P100. The Commissioner will also allow the applicant to
operate a Bond Store for the exclusive storage of all imported raw materials upon which duty has been rebated.
Any registered rebate user may at any given time submit a written request to the BURS – Customs Division for de-registration.
This will be granted once all customs duties and VAT liabilities have been settled. The Commissioner of Customs and Excise
may also cancel the registration of any rebate user if any provision under which the rebate was given is violated.
Exports from Botswana in terms of Bilateral and multilateral
Trade Agreements
Botswana has entered into some Trade Agreements with other countries through which certain goods of Botswana origin are
granted duty free and or quota free access in the markets of those countries.
The following are some of the bilateral and multilateral trade agreements which Botswana has with other countries.
a. European Union (EU)
Until end of 2007, the exporters into the European Union market were governed by the Cotonou Agreement. The EC
had implemented new interim measures currently in place (market access regulations – MAR) on the 1st January 2008
for the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). The MAR form part of current rules of origin for exports to the EU.
Botswana has so far signed/initialed the IEPA and hence has started benefiting from the market access regulations (MAR)
on the 1st January 2008 for the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). The EPA will be reciprocal once implemented.
20
In order for the goods to enjoy the trade concessions under the market access regulations (MAR) – SADC-EU EPA,
which are the current rules of origins for export, they must be wholly produced or manufactures in Botswana. Goods
originating from Botswana may be exported to European Union countries without payment of Customs duties at country
of destination. However, this is subject to the goods satisfying the origin rules of exporting as laid out in the (SADC-EU
EPA) and the owner of goods obtaining a Certificate of Origin (EUR 1) from the BURS – Customs Division. In order for the
goods to be considered as originating from Botswana they must be wholly obtained or sufficiently worked or processed
in Botswana. In more precise terms, the goods must be:
Wholly Produced
These are all products which do not contain any materials imported from third countries. Third countries are non European
Union (EU) and SADC Countries. Mineral products extracted from her soil vegetable products harvested, animals born
and raised in Botswana are considered as wholly produced in Botswana. Products of these can also considered as wholly
originating if they do not contain any imported materials.
Sufficiently Worked
These are product which are manufactured from imported materials and have met the product specific rule. Where materials
sourced from outside SADC member states and EU Community are used to produce a given product, the product will be
deemed to be originating from Botswana if the condition set out in the list in annex II of the Agreement are fulfilled. These
conditions indicate the processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials should not be used, the non
originating material can be used provided its value does not exceed 15% of ex-works price of the final product.
Cumulation Rule
Products manufactured from materials originating in the Community, in other ACP States, in the OCT or in other SADC
EPA States are considered as originating in Botswana if the last process of working or processing is not considered as
insufficient listed in Article 5 (1) of Title II of the Protocol 1.
Prior to exportation, traders are required to register with BURS – Customs and Excise Division (Regional Offices) and obtain
a movement certificate EUR 1.
When the goods satisfy the above requirements, a Euro 1 certificate can then be purchased from licensed clearing agents
or and BURS – Customs Division Regional Office at P5.50 per certificate. Prior to exportation, the certificate must be
taken to the nearest Customs Office for Customs endorsement because a Euro 1 certificate which is not endorsed by the
BURS – Customs Division will not confer preferential treatment on the goods at country of destination. Endorsement of
the certificate involves Customs officials visiting the exporter’s manufacturing factory to ascertain that the manufacturing
process taking place is in conformity with origin requirements under the MAR (SADC-EU EPA).
When goods are ready for exportation, the exporter must complete the relevant bill of entry Form SAD 500. These forms
must be counter-signed by Botswana Customs prior to exportation.
b. United States of America (USA)
Botswana exporters may export their eligible products under the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) scheme to USA
free of customs duty and quotas until 2008. Products that can be traded under this scheme are both the non-textile and
textile products.
In order for a non-textile product to become eligible, it first needs to be included in the list of the 6,500 products listed under
the Act (this list can be obtained form any Customs and Excise office). Once that is satisfied, the next step is to determine if
the product is wholly produced or grown in Botswana or a beneficiary Sub-Saharan country. if the raw material is sourced
form outside any of the beneficiary Sub-Saharan countries, it must be ensured that the last stage of the manufacturing
process takes place in an AGOA beneficiary country. In addition, only products meeting a minimum of 35% value added
ca qualify to enter the USA market the AGOA scheme. This value added is calculated on the basis of either the cost of
materials produced in an AGOA beneficiary country or the US or, the cost of direct processing. However, up to 15% of the
35% value added may be of raw materials sourced in USA.
Textile materials qualify for trade under AGOA scheme in the event they are wholly assembled in one or more lesser
-developed AGOA beneficiary countries. What is of importance in this case is for the last stage of manufacturing to be
done in Botswana. Since Botswana enjoys a grouping 5 status under AGOA, fabric or yarn enjoys the benefit of having no
restriction of their origin status (they may be imported from anywhere in the world). There is however a quota restriction on
the amount of textile products that may be exported to under AGOA.
Exportation benefits accorded under AGOA are extended on condition that exporters, for either or both non-textile and
textile products, are registered with the BURS-Customs and Excise Division prior to exportation. This registration involves
submission of written application to export stating type of raw materials to be used in production, their country of origin
and manufacturing process and; customs inspection of the manufacturing plant and company documents. In addition,
manufacturers and exporters of textile and apparel products are required to complete AGOA application forms (form EC
48 A 1.03 and form CE 48 A1.02 respectively). It must be noted that transshipment of goods is not allowed under AGOA
except for cases, such as is the case with Botswana, where a country relies on sea ports of its neighbouring countries to
export to USA.
21
c. Generalised System of Preference
Goods originating from Botswana can enjoy some preferential treatment when exported to developed countries under
the General System of Preference (GSP) scheme. Goods that qualify under this scheme are those that have been wholly
obtained or produced in Botswana. These goods include materials extracted in Botswana, animals born and raised in
Botswana as well as plants grown in Botswana. Goods produced from non-originating materials will only qualify if the
materials are subjected to a sufficient manufacturing process, which result in a change in the tariff heading of the final
product.
Since every importing country may have its own tailor-made preferential scheme, it is beneficial for exporters to check
prevailing requirements of the product they intend to sell from the Commissioner of Customs and Excise. Once all requirements have been met, a Certificate A (which is the relevant movement certificate) may be obtained from BURS-Regional
offices at P5.00, Excise Division. When goods are ready for exportation, the relevant export document to complete is a
SAD 500.
d. Southern African Development Community (SADC) Countries
Botswana is a contracting party to SADC. In terms of the SADC Protocol on Trade, SADC members states are required
to grant each other reduced duty (Most favoured Nation status) or duty free access of goods traded amongst them. This
covers import and export duties, non-tariff barriers as well as quantitative import and export restrictions. Goods originating
from Botswana and destined for any of SADC member states will on arrival at country of destination enjoy reduced tariff
rates, no non-tariff barriers and, reduced quantitative restrictions.
In order for the goods to enjoy this trade concession, thy must be wholly produced or sufficiently worked as per the SADC
Trade Protocol.
Prior to exportation, a SADC certificate of origin must be obtained from the BURS – Customs and Excise Division at P5.50.
When goods are ready for exportation, the relevant export document to complete is a SAD 500.
e. Zimbabwe
The Botswana/Zimbabwe Trade Agreement accords goods originating from Botswana and exported to Zimbabwe duty
free treatment. Goods which meet a minimum 25% local content as per this trade agreement are exempted from payment
of customs duty. Excise duty and local taxes will be due and payable where applicable.
Traders (manufacturers or their agents and wholesalers) who wish export to Zimbabwe under this trade agreement must
register with the BURS-Customs and Excise Division. The Division will then visit the prospective registrant’s establishment
to ascertain that indeed a manufacturing process is taking place. According to Article 4 of the Botswana/Zimbabwe Trade
Agreement, where goods are manufactured using materials from outside the two trading partners, the manufacturing
should take place in Botswana. The prospective registrant will then be requested to submit costing data for the purposes
of calculating the local content of the goods under trade.
If the local content of the goods meets the minimum 25% required, the company will be registered to export to Zimbabwe
and given a registration number. Companies dealing in wholly originating products qualify for automatic registration without
going through the process of determining local content. Prior to exportation a certificate of origin (Form 61) must be obtained
from the nearest regional office at P1.00. When goods are ready for exportation, the relevant export document to complete
is a DAD 500.
f. SACU Countries
As indicated in the opening paragraph, Botswana is a contracting member of the Southern African Customs Union hence,
goods exported to other member states of SACU generally enjoy free movement without payment of customs duties and
quantitative restrictions. Only local taxes, such as Value Added Tax, are levied on goods coming from Botswana at destination
country. Where there are some import prohibitions or restrictions, they will usually be instituted to protect the security,
economic, social, and cultural interests of the importing.

BRAND BOTSWANA
Objectives of the Nation Brand Programme
The purpose of the nation brand is to galvanise Batswana around a single identity to stimulate stronger communities, culture
and heritage and instill a greater sense of prideand community engagement in our country.The brand also positions Botswana to international audiences as an attractive place to visit, work and invest. It highlights the country’s national assets,
including its people, culture and heritage, tourism attractions, business potential and reputation as a country with good
governance.
Review of the nation brand
Following the launch of the nation brand logo in 2007, the High Level Consultative Council (HLCC) called for a review of the
visual identity as it was noted that the public found the strapline too long, convoluted and not representative of Batswana
and their aspirations. BEDIA embarked on a review process where the visual identity was critiqued by varying quarters of
society and opinions, comments and suggestions were collated. Concluded in 2009, findings of the review suggested that
the area presenting the most challenge for target groups was the strapline and not the word mark or logo. This informed the
decision to modify the strapline, to ‘Our Pride, Your Destination’ and maintain the word mark and logo. The revised nation
brand logo and strapline are scheduled to be launched in the first quarter of 2010.
Brand Botswana added to the BEDIA portfolio
In December 2009, as a part of Government’s initiatives to rationalise the operations of parastatals with similar or related
functions, Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (BEDIA) was assigned the responsibility of managing
the nation brand. The resolution necessitated that Botswana Brand Management Organisation (BBMO), the entity formed
to manage nation brand strategies be formally deregistered and that the BBMO Board be dissolved. All functions that were
previously the responsibility of BBMO are assumed by BEDIA and these administered by the Brand Botswana Department.
This includes implementation of nation brand strategies and plans. The process to achieve deregistration and dissolution of
the Board commenced in December 2009.
Resourcing of Brand Botswana Department
During the year under review, Brand Botswana department was resourced and a Deputy Director, Stakeholder Relations
Manager and Marketing Executive recruited. The team is tasked with coordination and management of all nation brand
initiatives.
