Online order. Real border journey.

We support customers buying from WooCommerce, Shopify, Temu, SHEIN, Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, Etsy, social-commerce sellers, and independent online stores.

From fashion and electronics to samples, spare parts, and small-business stock, we help connect the online checkout to delivery in Zimbabwe.

Checkout charges are not Zimbabwe clearance.

SA VAT, estimated taxes, or marketplace import fees are not automatically the same as Zimbabwe customs duty, Zimbabwe VAT, ZIMRA clearance, or courier handling charges.

  1. Checkout

    The shop may charge SA VAT or an estimated import fee.

  2. Border assessment

    ZIMRA may assess product value, classification, duty, and VAT on arrival.

  3. Release & delivery

    Clearance and courier handling charges may still apply before delivery.

    If Zimbabwe duty and VAT are not clearly shown as paid at checkout, budget for possible charges on arrival, especially when the parcel routes through South Africa.

Suitable cargo

Online purchases, customer orders, and small-business stock.

  • Fashion, footwear, cosmetics, and accessories

How it works

Five handovers from order details to delivery.

  1. Share the order

    Store name, order number, and product details.

  2. Confirm the value

    Invoice, payment proof, and country of origin.

  3. Check the parcel

    Weight, dimensions, tracking, and delivery city.

  4. Review clearance

    We advise on likely documents and charges.

  5. Arrange delivery

    Delivery is coordinated once the parcel is ready.

What we need

Complete information improves the quote and customs guidance.

  • Marketplace or shop name and order number
  • Product description, category, and invoice value
  • Payment proof and marketplace checkout summary
  • Parcel weight, dimensions, and tracking number
  • Origin country, supplier details, and Zimbabwe address
  • Whether the parcel routes through South Africa
  • Proof of SA VAT, duty, tax, or import fees already paid
  • Confirmation of whether Zimbabwe duty and VAT were included

From abroad to your door in Zimbabwe.

International parcel delivery is for goods coming into Zimbabwe from another country, whether from South Africa, the UK, China, Dubai, the USA, Europe, or another supplier location.

We help coordinate the real journey: declared value, customs, documents, clearance, and final delivery.

Clear information keeps the parcel moving.

International parcels may need customs clearance, product descriptions, declared values, invoices, duty, VAT, and import checks before delivery can be arranged.

  1. Declare clearly

    Share the product, origin, invoice value, and parcel details.

  2. Clear correctly

    Customs assesses duty, VAT, documents, and any special requirements.

  3. Deliver locally

    Once cleared, delivery can be coordinated to the Zimbabwe destination.

    Tax, VAT, or import fees paid in South Africa do not automatically mean the parcel is cleared for Zimbabwe. ZIMRA may still assess the parcel on entry.

Suitable cargo

  • Retail goods, fashion, and accessories
  • Electronics, cosmetics, and small spare parts
  • Documents, samples, and online purchases

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Local Courier Zimbabwe only for Zimbabwe?

Yes. The Local Courier Zimbabwe service is for deliveries within Zimbabwe only. Parcels move from one Zimbabwe location to another Zimbabwe location.

What is the difference between local courier and international parcels?

Local courier is for deliveries within Zimbabwe. International parcels are for goods coming into Zimbabwe from another country and may involve customs clearance, invoices, duties, VAT, taxes, and import checks.

What is the difference between e-commerce courier and normal courier?

E-commerce courier is designed for online sellers and shoppers using platforms such as WooCommerce, Shopify, Temu, SHEIN, Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, Etsy, Instagram, TikTok Shop, Facebook Marketplace, and WhatsApp sellers. Normal courier is usually for once-off parcels, documents, or business deliveries.

Do you support WooCommerce orders?

Do you support parcels from Temu and SHEIN?

Yes. We can support enquiries for parcels purchased from Temu, SHEIN, and similar marketplaces, depending on parcel size, product type, country of origin, tracking status, customs requirements, and delivery city in Zimbabwe.

Do you support Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, and Etsy parcels?

Yes. We can support online purchases and marketplace parcels from Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, Etsy, supplier websites, independent online shops, and small business sellers, depending on cargo type and import requirements.

Can you support social media sellers?

What items can be sent by local courier?

Local courier cargo may include documents, parcels, retail goods, fashion items, electronics, accessories, cosmetics, samples, small spare parts, office items, and small cartons.

What items can be sent as e-commerce parcels?

E-commerce parcels may include clothing, footwear, accessories, cosmetics, electronics, phone and laptop accessories, small spare parts, packaged retail goods, samples, supplier parcels, and promotional items.

What items can be sent as international parcels into Zimbabwe?

International parcels may include retail goods, fashion items, electronics, accessories, cosmetics, documents, samples, spare parts, online purchases, and supplier shipments, subject to courier restrictions and Zimbabwe import requirements.

Do international parcels require customs clearance?

Yes. International parcels entering Zimbabwe may require customs clearance depending on product type, declared value, origin, and import rules.

Will duties and taxes apply?

Duties, VAT, taxes, or clearance charges may apply to international parcels depending on the item, declared value, product category, shipping terms, route, and customs assessment.

Why do some marketplace parcels get double duty?

It can happen when the online shop charges tax, import fees, or SA VAT at checkout, but the parcel still needs Zimbabwe customs clearance on arrival. SA VAT is not the same as Zimbabwe duty, Zimbabwe VAT, or ZIMRA clearance fees.

If I paid SA VAT, do I still pay ZIMRA?

Possibly, yes. SA VAT may only relate to the South African part of the transaction or route. ZIMRA may still assess duty, VAT, and clearance charges when the parcel enters Zimbabwe.

Why do Temu, SHEIN, Amazon, or AliExpress parcels sometimes attract extra charges?

Some parcels move through South Africa before Zimbabwe. The shop may charge estimated fees, marketplace taxes, or SA VAT, but Zimbabwe customs may still charge duty, VAT, or clearance fees on arrival.

What is double duty?

Double duty is the customer term for feeling charged twice: once by the online shop at checkout and again when the parcel reaches customs or the courier. It may happen when checkout charges were only estimates, foreign taxes, or SA VAT, not final Zimbabwe customs clearance.

If I paid import fees at checkout, is Zimbabwe customs fully paid?

Not always. Some marketplaces charge estimated import fees or taxes, but Zimbabwe customs may still assess the parcel on arrival. The final outcome depends on shipping terms, courier process, documents, product type, route, and customs assessment.

How can I reduce the risk of double duty or double charging?

Keep the online invoice, payment proof, shipping receipt, product description, tracking number, checkout summary, and any proof that import duties or taxes were paid. Also check whether the marketplace fee specifically covers Zimbabwe customs clearance.

What should I send if my parcel came through South Africa?

Send the invoice, payment proof, tracking number, product description, checkout summary, proof of any tax or duty paid, and any courier message showing the parcel route through South Africa.

What documents should I keep for marketplace parcels?

Keep the order invoice, payment confirmation, product description, tracking number, shipping receipt, seller details, checkout summary, and any proof of tax, duty, or import-fee payment.

What information is needed for a local courier quote?

For local courier, send the pickup location, delivery location, parcel type, parcel size, parcel weight, and preferred delivery time.

What information is needed for a WooCommerce, Shopify, or e-commerce courier quote?

For e-commerce courier, send the store or seller name, product type, order value, parcel weight, parcel dimensions, pickup location, delivery location, customer delivery details, and whether any tax, VAT, duty, or import fee was already paid.

What information is needed for an international parcel quote?

For international parcels, send the origin country, supplier details, product description, invoice value, parcel weight, parcel dimensions, delivery city in Zimbabwe, whether the goods are personal or commercial, and whether the parcel is coming through South Africa.
