What to prepare before cargo arrives at Dar es Salaam port

What to prepare before cargo arrives at Dar es Salaam port

Most delays at Dar es Salaam are not crane delays. They are missing HS codes, a consignee name that does not match the BL, or a permit that should have been started two weeks earlier.

Send Kipanga the commercial invoice, packing list, draft BL and any commodity certificates as soon as the supplier confirms stuffing. We flag gaps while the ship is still at sea.

If you are new to TRA process, we will not pretend a number we do not hold. We will tell you what the file needs and who must sign it.
