At 100 KG, you're in the commercial freight category — large enough for competitive rates but still within the range where air freight often beats sea freight on cost per delivery cycle. This weight is common for electronics, clothing, and general merchandise restocking shipments going to Tanzania.

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.
Door-to-door transit to Tanzania: 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.
Capacity to Tanzania tightens around Oct–Dec, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
For 100 KG to Tanzania, 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.
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.
Minimums to Tanzania 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 Tanzania.
