Overview

Doing a steel project in Eswatini

Eswatini is in Southern Africa. The capital is Lobamba. Local currency: Swazi lilangeni (SZL), South African rand (ZAR).

Eswatini has no coastline: shipments arrive through a seaport in a neighbouring country (Mozambique, South Africa) and continue by road or rail.

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Eswatini. Imports follow the general tariff of Eswatini, which is checked for each project in the landed cost estimate.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Eswatini, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
