How we deliver ocean freight and clearing: Megira plans, coordinates and manages the shipment for you. Steps that legally require a licence — such as customs declarations, airline or ocean bookings — are carried out through appropriately licensed clearing agents, carriers and authorised partners we work with, and road legs are run on Megira's own fleet wherever possible.
Shipping to Rwanda — FAQs
Most cargo from China to Rwanda travels by sea to Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) or Mombasa (Kenya) and then by road to Kigali. Megira books the ocean freight with a shipping line, coordinates port clearing and transit documents through licensed clearing agents, and trucks the container to its final destination in Rwanda.
Both are used. Dar es Salaam links to Rwanda by the Central Corridor via the Rusumo border; Mombasa links by the Northern Corridor via Uganda. Megira recommends the port per shipment based on the shipping line, origin, cargo and delivery date.
No. Megira is a Rwanda-based transport and logistics company. It books ocean and air freight with shipping lines and airlines on your behalf, then manages clearing and the road leg into Rwanda and the region on its own trucks — one point of contact from origin port to final delivery.
Yes. Overseas suppliers and exporters can request a quote for the African leg — port handling, clearing coordination and inland delivery to the consignee — under any Incoterm such as FOB, CIF, DAP or DDP.
Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya regularly; Uganda, Burundi and the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo on request.
