Yes. Air shipments to Tanzania 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.
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 1 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Sea freight to Tanzania typically routes through the main commercial seaport, while air freight clears via the primary international airport. We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
