Shipping modes
How we move your cargo to Rwanda
Each route is planned around the cargo type, budget, deadline and destination in Rwanda. Below is a practical guide to the modes available on this route.
Road freight to Rwanda
Cross-border trucking is often the most cost-effective option for heavy, bulky or palletised cargo. We collect in Tanzania, manage border formalities and deliver to your recipient in Rwanda.
- Best for: machinery, building materials, FMCG, vehicles and palletised cargo.
- Transit: 3 to 14 business days depending on route, border queues and customs.
- Options: full truck load (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL) and groupage.
- Tracking: GPS-tracked vehicles and driver communication.
- Notes: ideal for land borders and regional corridors; customs paperwork is prepared in advance.
Air freight to Rwanda
Air freight is the fastest way to move urgent, high-value or time-sensitive cargo. We handle acceptance, security screening, airline booking and customs on both sides.
- Best for: documents, electronics, medical supplies, perishables and samples.
- Transit: 2 to 7 business days including handling and customs clearance.
- Options: standard, priority and consolidated air freight.
- Weight basis: chargeable weight (actual versus volumetric).
- Notes: airline capacity, cut-off times and dangerous goods rules apply.
Choosing the right mode
| Priority | Recommended mode | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Speed is the priority | Air freight | Fastest transit and best for urgent or high-value cargo. |
| Regional or heavy cargo | Road freight | Cost-effective for land borders and large or bulky items. |
Transit times
