Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist

Landlocked country dependent on transit corridors through Mozambique (Nacala corridor most reliable), Tanzania, and South Africa. MRA customs is improving with ASYCUDA but still bureaucratic. Lilongwe and Blantyre are main customs hubs. DHL available in major cities. Postal service very slow, 4-8 weeks. Chronic foreign currency shortages can delay imports. Tobacco auction season (March-August) strains logistics capacity. English-speaking which simplifies documentation. Corruption remains a concern at some border posts. VAT at 16.5%. One of the poorest countries, import volumes modest.
