African construction sites are not European sites with different paperwork. Ambient temperatures above 40°C, grid voltage that swings by 15-20%, airborne dust, and long distances from the nearest spare parts supplier all change what a reliable plant looks like. A plant specified purely on output and price will work for six months and then start costing you shifts.
Four specifications matter more here than in temperate markets: motor and drive headroom for high ambient temperatures, voltage stabilisation and surge protection on the control panel, dust-tolerant filtration on the pneumatic system, and a spare parts plan that does not depend on a three-month sea freight cycle.

We arrange the factory inspection and issue the conformity certificate before the container is loaded. If it is left until arrival the shipment sits at port accruing demurrage — and demurrage runs $2,000-$5,000 a week, which is more than the certificate costs.
The parts that stop a plant are predictable: mixer blades and liner plates, load cells, pneumatic valves and cylinders, conveyor belts and rollers. We keep these in stock and ship by air or express sea freight, so a worn liner plate is a one-week problem rather than a three-month one. Operators are trained during commissioning on how to identify wear before it becomes a breakdown.
Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lagos and Onne (Nigeria), Tema and Takoradi (Ghana), Durban (South Africa), Walvis Bay (Namibia), Djibouti, and Beira (Mozambique). Transit time from China is 20-45 days depending on the port, and we book the vessel and handle loading documentation.
It varies: Nigeria requires SONCAP, Kenya PVoC, Uganda UNBS, Tanzania TBS, Ghana GSA, Zambia ZABS, Ethiopia ESA and Egypt EOS. Costs run from about $800 to $3,000 per shipment. We arrange the factory inspection and certification before loading so the documents travel with the container.
A typical HZS120 loads into 2-3 x 40ft flat rack containers plus one 20ft container for spares and small parts, with the silos as breakbulk or flat-rack cargo. An HZS60 needs less. Container planning is where most of the avoidable shipping cost sits, so we produce a loading diagram before booking.
Under HS code 8474.31 import duty ranges from 0-5% in Uganda and Ethiopia up to 10-25% in Kenya and Tanzania, plus VAT or GST of 7.5-18%. Landed cost typically works out at 1.15-1.55x the CIF value depending on the country.
That is what it is built for. We size motors and drives with headroom for 40°C+ ambient temperatures, ship voltage stabilisers and surge protection for unstable grids, and use dust-tolerant filtration on the pneumatic system. For humid coastal sites we add extra protection on electrical enclosures.
Common wear parts - mixer blades, liner plates, load cells, pneumatic valves, conveyor belts - are held in stock for air or express sea freight. Our engineers also support remotely by video for troubleshooting, which resolves most issues without waiting for a site visit.
