Yes. Air shipments to DR Congo 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.
For 100 KG to DR Congo, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 7–21 days (congestion common) dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
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.
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 100 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
For regulated goods entering DR Congo, plan for: Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with the national customs service, so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
