Frequently Asked Questions
Answers tailored to Ugandan importers and East African transit logistics
How does sea freight to landlocked Uganda work?
Since Uganda is landlocked, ocean freight from China is typically shipped to the Port of Mombasa in Kenya (or sometimes Dar es Salaam). From there, we clear customs under the Single Customs Territory (SCT) and transport the cargo via road or rail (SGR) directly to Kampala.
What documents are required for DDP shipping to Uganda?
You will need a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, and a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) obtained through the UNBS PVoC program. The importer in Uganda must also have a valid URA TIN (Tax Identification Number).
What is UNBS PVoC in Uganda?
The Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) requires a Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) for regulated products. This means your goods must be inspected in China before loading to obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), which is mandatory for URA customs clearance.
Does DDP pricing include URA taxes and duties?
Yes. Our DDP quote includes sea/air freight, insurance, inland transit costs, and all taxes levied by the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), including Import Duty, 18% VAT, Withholding Tax (WHT), and Infrastructure Levy. You receive the cargo with zero surprise bills.
How long does shipping from China to Uganda take?
Air freight to Entebbe International Airport (EBB) takes 3-7 days. Sea freight to Mombasa takes 30-35 days, plus 5-10 days for SCT customs clearance and inland trucking to Kampala.
