With 16+ years of experience and over 1,000,000 clients served, we specialize in gathering goods from multiple locations, grouping them in our Guangzhou warehouse, and shipping them efficiently via container or air cargo to Zimbabwe’s key ports and cities.

How We Consolidate & Container Ship to Zimbabwe

1. Nationwide Pickup & Warehouse Consolidation

Our extensive network covers all major Chinese manufacturing hubs, enabling pickup from:

  • Guangdong: Guangzhou (wholesale markets), Shenzhen (electronics), Foshan (furniture).

  • East China: Shanghai (textiles), Yiwu (small commodities), Ningbo (machinery).

  • North China: Beijing (tech), Tianjin (auto parts).

  • West China: Chengdu (electronics), Chongqing (appliances).

Goods are transported to our Guangzhou warehouse (Room 607-608, Talent Building) for consolidation, where we:

  • Verify quantities and inspect for damage to meet Zimbabwe’s import standards, including compliance with the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ) regulations and Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) requirements.

  • Group items by type to optimize container space, reducing shipping costs for the long-haul transit across the Indian Ocean and through regional African ports.

  • Package fragile goods (e.g., electronics, glassware) with robust, shock-resistant materials and secure heavy items (e.g., agricultural machinery, construction equipment) to withstand long-distance maritime transport and Zimbabwe’s inland road conditions.

2. Shipping Options to Zimbabwe

Sea Freight to Zimbabwe’s Key Gateway Ports

Zimbabwe relies on regional ports for international trade, and we ship to:

  • Port of Beira (Mozambique): A major gateway for Zimbabwean imports, with overland transport to Harare and Bulawayo, transit times averaging 35–40 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen (including container shipping to Beira and inland delivery).

  • Port of Durban (South Africa): A key alternative route, with transit times of 40–45 days from Guangzhou (container shipping to Durban plus overland transport to Zimbabwe).

As a class 1 shipping lines agent, we provide reliable FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) solutions, with expertise in coordinating seamless container transport from China to Zimbabwe via these regional hubs.

Air Freight to Zimbabwe

For urgent shipments, we offer air cargo to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE) in Harare, with transit times of 12–15 days. Door-to-door delivery is available via our express partners (DHL, EMS, UPS, FedEx) and airway & airlines cargo services, ideal for time-sensitive goods like medical supplies, high-tech components, or emergency relief items—critical for Zimbabwe’s healthcare and humanitarian sectors.

3. Trade Terms: FOB, CIF, EXW Guangzhou

  • EXW Guangzhou: You take control from our warehouse—we handle pickup from suppliers, inspect goods, and prepare them for collection.

  • FOB Guangzhou: We deliver goods to Guangzhou port, handle export clearance, and load onto the container vessel—you manage freight, insurance, and onward transport to Zimbabwe.

  • CIF Zimbabwe (via regional ports): We cover costs, insurance, and freight to Port of Beira or Port of Durban, including container shipping—you handle import clearance, regional transport, and final delivery to local destinations (e.g., Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare).

4. Customs Clearance & Documentation

Our team manages all paperwork to ensure smooth clearance in China and compliance with Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) regulations:

  • Chinese Export Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, export declaration, and Certificate of Origin (to support tariff calculations).

  • Zimbabwean Import Requirements:

    • Import License issued by the Zimbabwean Ministry of Industry and Commerce (mandatory for most goods).

    • Product-specific certifications (e.g., SAZ marks for electrical appliances, Ministry of Health approvals for pharmaceuticals, agricultural permits for farming equipment).

    • English-language documentation (invoices, packing lists) with detailed product descriptions to meet ZIMRA’s standards.

    • Duty payment (we provide upfront estimates, with rates varying by product category—essential goods may qualify for reduced tariffs).

Success Stories: Container Shipping to Zimbabwe

  • Agricultural Machinery to Harare: An agricultural cooperative in Harare sourced 250+ items from 4 Chinese cities (Ningbo, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha), including tractors, irrigation systems, and fertilizer spreaders. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via FOB terms in a 40ft container to Port of Beira, and coordinated with local partners for overland transport to Harare. The shipment arrived in 38 days, saving 33% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

  • Construction Materials to Bulawayo: A Bulawayo-based construction firm needed steel bars from Shanghai, cement from Shandong, and roofing materials from Foshan for a infrastructure project. We consolidated the goods, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Durban in an LCL container, and arranged road transport to Bulawayo. The shipment cleared ZIMRA in 3 days, arriving 42 days after pickup—meeting the project’s phase deadline.

  • Urgent Medical Supplies to Mutare: A humanitarian organization required medical kits from Yiwu and diagnostic equipment from Shenzhen for rural clinics in Mutare. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Harare Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated with local logistics for delivery. The shipment arrived door-to-door in 14 days—critical for addressing healthcare needs.
