Sourced from India
Electricals from India
Indhows sources wires, cables, lights and switches from India for electrical shops, contractors and building projects.
What we source
Products, and what to tell us
Wires
Tell us the conductor size in square millimetres, copper or aluminium, insulation and roll length.
Cables
Tell us the number of cores, conductor size, armoured or not, and total length.
Lights
Tell us the type, wattage, colour temperature and fitting.
Switches
Tell us the type, rating and finish. Uganda uses the three-pin Type G plug at 240 volts, so sockets must match.
Before you import
Rules and costs to plan for
- These goods fall under Uganda's pre-export inspection programme (PVoC) when they are covered by a compulsory standard. A shipment worth US$2,000 or more then needs a Certificate of Conformity issued in India before it sails.
- Electrical products are tested against the standard before a certificate is issued. Ask for the supplier's test reports early, as laboratories take time.
- Import duty depends on the product's tariff code. Many finished goods fall in the 25% band. We confirm the rate in your quotation.
