Lusaka–Chirundu Corridor Freight Forwarders

Zambia ↔ Zimbabwe Cross-Border · Chirundu Border Post

The Chirundu border crossing links Zambia's capital Lusaka to Zimbabwe's capital Harare and carries southbound copper and cobalt exports bound for Durban, plus northbound fuel and consumer goods feeding the DRC hinterland. Clearance is handled by ZIMRA on the Zimbabwe side and the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) on the Zambia side, with the Chirundu–Beitbridge one-stop border post handling the heaviest trans-Kalahari traffic.

Customs clearing, cross-border road transport & shipper inquiries

End-to-end freight services for operators serving the Chirundu one-stop border post and the Lusaka–Harare corridor.

🚣

Customs Clearing at Chirundu

Cross-border declarations are processed at the Chirundu–Beitbridge one-stop border post—ZIMRA on the Zimbabwe side and ZRA on the Zambia side—with trans-shipment and consolidated loads handled at Chirundu for cargo continuing into Lusaka or exporting copper through Durban. A single Lusaka- or Chirundu-based operator can represent a shipment across both jurisdictions, removing the hand-off risk that plagues multi-broker chains.

🚚

Cross-Border Road Transport (ZM↔ZW)

Long-haul road haulage from Lusaka to Chirundu (~130 km of tarmac), crossing the Zambezi bridge, and onward to Harare and Bulawayo. Typical payloads run 10–30 tons per truck; transit times depend on the Chirundu–Beitbridge queue, seasonal rains, and the fuel-supply fluctuations that affect cross-border trucking in the SADC region.
