| Main sea gateways | the main commercial seaport |
|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | the national customs service |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | No practical de-minimis on most routes |
| Import tax & duty regime | Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common |

Small-Batch E-Commerce Restock
The 10 KG band is the classic e-commerce restock or first trial run. Air is the default — it lands the best cost-to-speed trade-off, and most managed air channels open at around 21 KG. Functionally this is less-than-container air freight.
- Most managed air channels set their floor near 21 KG
- Typical cargo: phone cases, accessories, apparel, cosmetics
- Amazon FBA top-ups at this size lean on air for turnaround speed
- Get your HS codes right up front to avoid a hold at Mozambique customs

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to ship from China to Mozambique?
On the current feed, China-to-Mozambique rates open at USD 327.12/KG via Sea DDP w/Tax. For a 10 KG load that works out to a freight total of approximately USD 3,271. RateHive can manage the customs entry and import-tax step, while the duty itself follows the Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common set by the national customs service.
What import duty and tax will I pay bringing goods into Mozambique?
Entries into Mozambique are assessed by the national customs service, and the regime that applies is: Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common. On de-minimis, the position is No practical de-minimis on most routes. RateHive offers managed clearance and tax processing — a coordination service, not Incoterms DDP — to handle these formalities for you.
Which gateways are used for China shipments into Mozambique?
Ocean cargo into Mozambique generally moves through the main commercial seaport; air clears via the primary international airport. We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward leg to your delivery address, with clearance handled as a managed service.
When does demand peak on the China-to-Mozambique lane?
Space into Mozambique gets tight around Oct–Dec, layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
What currency are Mozambique rates quoted and settled in?
We quote and invoice freight in USD; the destination-side currency in Mozambique is USD (freight priced in USD). Payment usually falls due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and with managed clearance you settle the landed cost once rather than facing collect charges on arrival.
Is my shipment to Mozambique trackable?
Yes. Air moves on an air waybill (AWB) that's live within 24 hours of departure; ocean tracks by bill of lading through the carrier portal. We flag the milestones that matter — departure, gateway arrival, clearance by the national customs service, and final delivery.
What paperwork clears customs in Mozambique?
the national customs service will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
What's the smallest shipment worth sending to Mozambique?
Floors vary by channel into Mozambique: managed air from about 21 KG (occasionally 12 KG), ocean LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Under 21 KG, express is usually the cheapest way in.
