Abstract: International trade is essential for the economic growth of developing countries, particularly in Mozambique, due to its strategic position in Southern Africa. In this context, the Mozambique Customs Authority plays an important role in regulating and facilitating trade exchanges. The study analyses the contribution of customs in trade facilitation, revenue collection, and regional integration, using a qualitative methodology based on documentary analysis and official data. The findings reveal significant progress, such as the digitalization of customs procedures and the implementation of the Electronic Single Window, which have increased efficiency and reduced trade costs. Despite these advances, challenges still remain, including corruption, technological limitations, and weaknesses in border control. It is concluded that there is a need to strengthen institutional reforms, invest in technology, and enhance human resource capacity in order to make the customs system more efficient, competitive, and capable of promoting the sustainable economic development of Mozambique.
