Can I move batteries by Sea Freight into Namibia?

Managed clearance into Namibia is a coordination service — it isn't Incoterms DDP. We file the customs entry and arrange the duty/tax owed to the national customs service (the de-minimis position being No practical de-minimis on most routes) so you don't have to broker it yourself.
How is chargeable weight worked out for Namibia?
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 300 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
