由 lltx1822 Sea Shipping from China to Zambia: Pre-Shipment Inspection and Import Permits
Zambia requires pre-shipment inspection of most goods from China by agencies like SGS. The inspection report must confirm the value, quantity, and quality of the goods. An import permit is mandatory for items such as pharmaceuticals and agricultural machinery, obtained from the Zambian Ministry of Commerce. Zambia’s customs clearance process involves submitting the inspection report, bill of lading, and commercial invoice. The port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania is often used for goods destined for Zambia, requiring additional transit documentation.
