Which South African ports do freight forwarders use?

Durban is the largest and busiest container port in Sub-Saharan Africa, followed by Cape Town and Ngqura (Coega); Richards Bay and Saldanha handle bulk exports. Air cargo moves primarily through Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT).

Can South Africa forwarders arrange cross-border road freight?

Yes. Road freight into the SADC region — Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, the DRC, and beyond — is a core service, including transit customs and border documentation. Post a freight request with your route for quotes.

How does customs clearance work in South Africa?

Imports and exports are declared to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) via its electronic system, with a licensed clearing agent managing classification, duties, and permits. Most forwarders on CargoLinked provide clearing in-house.
