Verzollungsprozess
Direction Generale des Douanes et Accises (DGDA) manages customs. ASYCUDA World system for electronic declarations (partially operational). Customs broker mandatory. Multiple entry points: Matadi port (Atlantic), Mombasa route via Lubumbashi (for eastern DRC), N'djili airport Kinshasa. French documentation required. Pre-shipment inspection by BIVAC mandatory.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
DRC, extremely challenging. DGDA customs notorious for lengthy delays and endemic corruption. Matadi port (160km from Kinshasa) severely congested. Mombasa route via Lubumbashi serves eastern DRC but adds weeks. Informal payment demands at every stage. Can take months for complex shipments. Express couriers (DHL) offer some reliability but at very high cost. Security situation in eastern provinces (North/South Kivu) affects logistics. Multiple agencies create bureaucratic maze. One of the world's most difficult customs environments.
