The spirits market
Alcohol is legal for adults aged 18 and older, though local bans exist and sachet spirits are prohibited nationwide. Registered Congolese companies manage imports and private distribution, subject to a 20% import duty, 25% excise duty, and 16% VAT. Domestic facilities produce goods such as liqueurs, whisky, vodka, and potable spirits. With mass-market beer imports restricted, strong opportunities exist for exporters supplying high-value bottled spirits like cognac, premium Scotch whisky, gin, and vodka.
