Information for cross border traders in Zimbabwe
One of the mandates of the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) is to facilitate trade and travel. This is achieved by ensuring smooth movement of goods and people through inland and border ports of entry/exit. Currently Zimbabwean cross border traders do not need a Visa to enter the Democratic Republic of Congo. For consignments of USD 1000 and below no duty is payable.
