This Zimbabwe Control of Goods Act aims to enable the President to provide by regulation for the control of the distribution, disposal, purchase and sale, and the wholesale and retail prices, of any manufactured or unmanufactured commodity or of any animal or poultry specified by the President by order or of any class of any such commodity, animal or poultry, for the control of imports into and exports from Zimbabwe; and for other purposes incidental and supplementary to the foregoing. The text is divided into six thematic Sections, as follows: 1. Short title. 2. Interpretation. 3. Regulations for the control of goods. 4. Rationing of goods. 5. Evidence. 6. Offences and penalties.
