www.trademarkea.com
Congestion at TundumaDue to:•No parking on the Zambia side resulting in trucks cleared by TRA having to wait on the Tunduma side of the border•Only one gate for crossing the border in both directions•The road is too narrow for modern container traffic. Immediate Solution:•Pre-arrival processing of documents by the Zambian Revenue Authority (ZRA)Possible Solution:•Find alternative remote parking for trucks bound for Zambia where pre-clearance could be conducted.
