This Act provides for border control of goods and the facilitation of transborder movement and clearance of goods. It establishes the National Committee on Trade Facilitation and lists, in the Schedule, legislation that relates to a one-stop border post and is the basis for border control operations by the institution specified in that legislation. The list includes, among other things, the Agriculture (Fertilizer and Feed) Act, the Animal Health Act, the Biosafety Act, the Environmental Management Act, the Fisheries Act, the Food and Drugs Act, the Forests Act, the Plant Pests and Diseases Act, the Plant Variety and Seeds Act, and the Zambia Wildlife Act.

The National Committee on Trade Facilitation shall— (a) coordinate policy on border management controls and facilitation of trade; and (b) develop specific programmes for the establishment and implementation of one-stop border controls. The President may enter into a one-stop border agreement or a simplified border agreement with an adjoining State for purposes of trade facilitation and ensuring reciprocity in the application of border controls. The Minister may, in collaboration with an adjoining State, through a border agreement, establish and designate control zones at their common ports of entry.
