Southern Africa
Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, served by road, rail and coastal ports.
Southern Africa is the region where road and rail often beat sea freight. For Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia, cross-border trucking from South Africa is usually faster and cheaper than routing through a coastal port.
SADC preferential treatment can materially reduce duty for qualifying goods, which makes the origin documentation commercially valuable rather than merely administrative.
Mozambique's ports at Beira and Maputo serve both local demand and the Malawi and Zimbabwe corridors; Walvis Bay serves Namibia and the Zambian copperbelt.
