Imports into Mozambique are assessed by the national customs service. The applicable regime is: Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common. The duty-free / de-minimis position is No practical de-minimis on most routes. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.

Door-to-door transit to Mozambique: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 7–21 days (congestion common) of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Mozambique?
the national customs service typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Mozambique shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 21 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
What is the best way to ship 21 KG from China to Mozambique?
For 21 KG to Mozambique, Air Freight is recommended — it gives the best speed/cost balance (5–10 business days) at this size, clearing via the primary international airport. Sea-freight minimums make ocean uneconomical under ~50 KG.
Can I track my shipment from China to Mozambique?
Yes. Air shipments to Mozambique get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by the national customs service, and final delivery.
What is the minimum shipment size for shipping to Mozambique?
Minimums to Mozambique vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Mozambique.
