Frequently asked questions

Why is Dar es Salaam important for East Africa?

Dar es Salaam is a major gateway not only for Tanzania but for landlocked Zambia, the DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, and Malawi, served by the Central Corridor road and rail network. Many Tanzanian forwarders specialise in transit and bond logistics for these markets.

Which Tanzanian ports and airports do forwarders use?

Dar es Salaam is the principal port, with Tanga and Mtwara handling regional and bulk cargo. Air freight moves through Julius Nyerere (DAR) and Kilimanjaro (JRO), the latter useful for horticultural exports.

How does customs clearance work in Tanzania?

Imports and exports are declared through the Tanzania Revenue Authority’s electronic system, with a licensed clearing agent managing classification, duties, and transit bonds. Most forwarders on CargoLinked include clearing in their service.
