World ports special regulations

East African port regulations:

There are not many ports in East Africa and there is no need for an import authorization number like that in West Africa, but the customs in East Africa are known to be strict. The most ridiculous thing was the TMM Customs. They once held back one of our tickets because the customs did not accept that there was only one item in a container.

DAR ES SALAAM (TANZANIA): Dar es Salaam is one of the most important ports for landlocked countries in Africa. All DAR transshipments require DAR transshipment procedures. Shippers need to The shipping company provides a copy of the packing list, invoice and original bill of lading, and the shipping company will scan the above documents to the DAR agency for customs clearance. However, when the freight arrives in the destination country, the consignee still needs to do a real customs clearance to pick up the goods. It is worth mentioning that DAR Customs will also pay attention to the value of goods. If they think that the value of the goods is too low, they will require the customer to change the invoice, but the customer's attitude is very insistent and they will eventually be released. In addition, shipping companies usually limit the weight of transhipment cargo is 13.5TONS/20', 27TONS/40'.

South African Port Regulations:

It is necessary to remind South Africa that the weight of goods transferred to the interior is very strict. Once an overweight ship company will add additional freight charges.

West African Port Regulations:

The West African ports have the most regulations, but in summary, they all basically require import license numbers for various purposes. The following one by one. According to my understanding, these batch numbers should not be required for personal items. If the customer cannot provide the relevant numbers, the shipping company will not normally issue bills of lading. For some reason, it is impossible to provide a number, and it is necessary to discuss with the shipping company whether a letter of guarantee can be issued and the shipping company to order. Special reminder: The customs of all countries in West Africa are the most rigorous to me, so do not change the goods after they arrive in Hong Kong. The fine is amazing!
