Algeria’s New Import Regime (Autumn 2025): The Rules Have Changed—Here’s How To Stay Ahead

Algeria’s import process has added new checkpoints. Miss one, and containers sit, cashflow stalls, and production plans unravel. This is a practical read on what changed and how to keep goods moving.

Why These Changes Matter

The ministry now checks dossiers before banks can domicile imports. Your Import Forecast Programme (PPI) must sit with one bank. Institutional tweaks are tightening who can import and how. Deadlines matter; so does sequencing. Treat the process like a critical path, not paperwork.

Common Vulnerabilities in Import Execution

Small gaps cause big delays. Incomplete financials, missing customs forms, or a capacity sheet not stamped correctly can stall an entire shipment. Fragmenting a PPI across banks is now a red flag. Mismatched HS codes or quantities between PPI, pro-formas, and invoices trigger rework. The fix is boring but effective: one clean pack, one lead bank, one internal owner.

How Does This Impact the Algerian Paints & Coatings Industry?

Architectural emulsions, primers, TiO₂-heavy lines, solventborne systems—none of it ships if pre-validation or PPI proof isn’t ready. Lead times stretch, demurrage creeps in, and margins narrow. Sales teams promise dates you can’t meet; customers lose confidence. Resilience now means procedural precision alongside procurement skill.
