Car shipping to Zambia
We ship vehicles to Zambia — RoRo or container
Zambia is one of the destinations we move cars to regularly, through the Port of Dar es Salaam, then by road. We recommend the most economical method for your car’s value and the arrival port, and prepare the entry documents before departure, not after the vehicle arrives.
- RoRo: The vehicle drives on by its own wheels — the most economical for used cars.
- Container: Secured with four straps and chocks under the tyres — more protective for luxury and classic cars.
- Triptyque: Temporary-entry procedures and release documents ready before shipping.
About this route
What sets shipping to Zambia apart
What its customs look at
Zambia drives on the left and uses right-hand drive. Older vehicles pay an additional charge. So the conditions for accepting left-hand drive are checked before any purchase.
What we ship there most
- Mining equipment and machinery
- Trucks
- Commercial goods
- Spare parts
A tip from experience
We choose the transit port by the delivery city and how congested the ports are at the time, not by fixed habit.
