Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Energy (MTIE)


There is an office for the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Energy situated in Santa Maria, Sal Island.

The MTIE head office is in Praia on the island of Santiago.

They perform a number of functions including monitoring importation and also the Importers who hold an importation license, to check that their licenses are valid, up to date and what goods they have imported.

Someone that wants to hold an importaion licence on Sal and Boavista must firstly meet the criteria to allow them to become a licensed importer. Once the application has been approved the MTIE will update their database of licensed importers. The database will identify:

The name of the license holder
The type of license they hold (all which are reference coded).
Their License number etc

There are 21 different license categories for importation in Cape Verde.

Example: Someone that holds an Agricultural Import License will be able to import a range of goods related to Agriculture, such as live animals and fruit. However if the same importer wants to import 'buiding materials' he/she would need to also hold one of the other licenses or use an Importer that does have a license for imoprting building materials.
