    Importing a container from China to Zimbabwe is high risk when you have no experience. We suggest you import your container through Durban port. Your container will transit through Durban, Beitbridge with delivery to Harare or Bulawayo which is a reliable and efficient route. If you have high blood pressure problems, avoid the Beira route. When buying from China, we suggest you pay for a Full Containter Load (FCL), which is a full, sealed container with your goods ONLY! From China, your goods may be opened by Tax authorities, SARS in South Africa or ZIMRA in Zimbabwe. If there are any missing items its easy to track and hold Tax authorities accountable. Some people when importing a container from China to Zimbabwe prefer to share a container with other clients. Avoid a shared container (LCL) by all means. You run a high risk of missing items, your goods being delayed because other clients did not clear in time or the entire container being detained because other clients have paperwork missing. Avoid LCL container at all costs. However should you choose LCL container, you will need a very reliable, honest and efficiant container clearing agent. Sadly there are few of us left out there.
