Clearance Port

Dar es Salaam (transit)

Zambia is reached through its neighbours, which makes the transit plan — not the port — the thing to get right.

Two corridors

Consignments commonly arrive via Dar es Salaam and travel overland, or via southern ports depending on the origin of the shipment. The corridor you choose will shape both cost and time.

The surtax factor

Zambia layers a surtax that rises with age and engine size, so newer, smaller-engine units clear more cheaply. Right-hand drive is required.

Planning it

Tell us the destination city and we will choose the corridor and quote the landed total, with documents prepared for the transit stage.
