Overview

Doing a steel project in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is in Eastern Africa. The capital is Harare. Local currency: Botswana pula (BWP), Chinese yuan (CNY), Euro (EUR), British pound (GBP), Indian rupee (INR), Japanese yen (JPY), United States dollar (USD), South African rand (ZAR), Zimbabwean bonds (ZWB).

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

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Zimbabwe. Imports follow the general tariff of Zimbabwe, 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 Zimbabwe, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.

  • Commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading for each shipment.
  • Certificate of origin (non-preferential) if the buyer or customs require it.
  • Material certificates and inspection records as agreed in the contract.
  • Building permit, local code approval and any import licence required in Zimbabwe.
