| Retention of the right to sell a type or brand of condom Statutory Instrument 131 of 2014 inserts a new s.14(3) into the Condom Regulations 2005 and a fee into the Third Schedule under a 'US$.' column: 'Fee payable for the retention of a type or brand of condom … 100,00'. This is the recurring device fee for the only device class Zimbabwe registers by type and brand. | US$ 100.00 | $100 | Annually, payable on or before 1 April | Verified |
| Package amendment for a condom type or brand Same instrument and same Third Schedule column: 'Fee payable for package amendment … 50,00', inserted as the new s.14(4) of the Condom Regulations 2005. | US$ 50.00 | $50.00 | Per amendment | Verified |
| MCAZ Medical Devices Laboratory — condom testing, private sector (all batch sizes) Laboratory Fee Schedule item 15.0, under the heading 'TEST FEES (USD)'. Batch approval under s.9 of the Condom Regulations 2005 is what makes a batch saleable, so this is the fee an importer actually pays per consignment. | US$ 350.00 | $350 | Per batch | Verified |
| MCAZ Medical Devices Laboratory — condom testing, public sector (all batch sizes) Laboratory Fee Schedule item 15.0, public-sector rate. The schedule publishes the two rates side by side rather than a band. | US$ 280.00 | $280 | Per batch | Verified |
| MCAZ Medical Devices Laboratory — glove testing (all sizes) Laboratory Fee Schedule item 16.0 GLOVE TESTING All Sizes 150.00. The schedule publishes a single rate for gloves, with no public-sector differentiation. | US$ 150.00 | $150 | Per batch | Verified |
Government fees only — service and testing costs are separate- The currency is the currency the tariff itself states. Statutory Instrument 131 of 2014 publishes the retention and package-amendment fees under a column headed 'US$.' and MCAZ's Laboratory Fee Schedule is headed 'TEST FEES (USD)'; Zimbabwe's domestic currency is the Zimbabwe Gold (ZWG), but no ZWG figure appears in either device tariff, and converting the published US-dollar amounts into ZWG would replace a published amount with a rate of the day.
- Zimbabwe publishes no device registration fee, because it has no general device registration pathway. The only device-specific fee heads in force are the condom retention and package-amendment fees created by S.I. 131 of 2014 and the MCAZ laboratory testing fees for condoms and gloves. Both summary bands therefore carry the same US$ 100.00 figure (the annual per-type retention fee): Zimbabwe operates no risk-classification axis, so no fee is differentiated by class.
- The principal 2005 and 2006 Regulations set their original application fees in the currency of that time — s.14 of the Condom Regulations 2005 states that the fee for approval of a type and brand of condom 'shall be two hundred thousand dollars' and s.14 of the Gloves Regulations 2006 states 'one hundred thousand dollars'. Those figures are in the Zimbabwe dollar of 2005/2006 and cannot be restated as a current US-dollar amount; they are recorded here rather than published as a fee row.
- MCAZ laboratory prices exclude 15% VAT, as the schedule states on its last page.
- The fee schedule's other heads are medicines, cosmetics and veterinary heads; no medical-device head exists in Zimbabwe's published fee instruments other than the condom and glove items above.
- Statutory Instrument 131 of 2014 was read by OCR from a scanned gazette PDF: the fee column header renders as 'USS.' in OCR and is a 'US$.' column in the instrument, and both amounts (100,00 and 50,00) were read from that column.
