For South African & Chinese suppliers
Virtual Market Entry. A market, not a new overhead.
Sell into Zimbabwe without your own local entity, store or staff. We hold, clear and fulfil from Harare.
A promising order should not require a new operation.
Entering Zimbabwe cold means navigating registration, forex, duty and distribution before you can reliably fulfil a sale. Suppliers lose deals when they cannot service buyers locally. Use an established bonded hub and corridor partner instead of building a fixed cost base from scratch.
How it works
Ship to our bonded hub
Agree the stock, lane and fulfilment requirements with the desk, then ship to Harare.
Clear and hold under bond
We coordinate customs handling and hold eligible stock under bond, keeping duty deferred.
Fulfil the local order
As orders come in, we release the required stock and coordinate delivery across the corridor.
Settle duty as goods sell
Duty and VAT are paid as stock is released, bringing the tax outlay closer to your revenue.
Virtual Market Entry
What you get
A shorter path to market
Aim for entry in weeks, not months of building a footprint; timing depends on your goods and customs requirements.
No owned fixed cost base
Use the Harare hub instead of establishing your own store, warehouse and local team.
Duty deferred until release
Hold eligible stock under bond and pay duty as goods sell and leave the hub.
Stock closer to the buyer
Fulfil from stock already in Harare rather than starting a fresh cross-border shipment for every order.
One end-to-end partner
Keep holding, clearing and fulfilment with one accountable corridor desk.
Over 50 years on this corridor. Still accountable for the next move.
Your route into the market starts at the Harare bonded hub, supported by Mitchell Cotts Zimbabwe's licensed clearing desk and established corridor coverage.
