To apply for an import license for sheet roofing (roofing iron) or cyclonic screws, first, email MTCMSMEC to request the application form or download it from the Ministry's website or FTIP. Complete the form and attach the required documents, including a payment receipt, certificates of compliance for the materials (roofing coils, screws, and cyclone washers), bill of lading, commercial invoice, and packing list. When sourcing materials like roofing coil, screws, deformed bars, or mesh, make sure to verify the lab’s accreditation. Ask your supplier for the lab’s accreditation number and certificate. Then, confirm this information with the relevant accreditation body—such as NATA in Australia (nata.com.au), IANZ in New Zealand (ianz.govt.nz), or CNAS in China (cnas.org.cn/english). Always check the scope of accreditation to ensure it specifically includes testing for the materials you’re purchasing. If you’re sourcing from a different country, visit the ILAC website (ilac.org) to find the official accrediting body for that nation. Don’t proceed unless the lab is properly accredited and its scope matches your product type.
