Fumba Superstore · Tanzania

Shipping and customs for imported orders to Tanzania

Fumba coordinates international shipping, customs clearance and local delivery so customers can deal with one service from quotation through to delivery.

When you order an imported product through Fumba Store, the cost and delivery process can involve more than the retailer's product price. International shipping, import-related charges and local delivery can all affect the final amount.

What is included in a Fumba quotation?

Depending on the order, the quotation can account for the product cost, international transport, import/customs-related costs, service charges and delivery to the agreed destination. The exact structure depends on the product and route.

How the import process works

Product confirmedWe review the item and confirm that we can proceed with the order.
QuotationWe provide the customer with the price for the order.
Purchase and shipmentAfter confirmation and payment, the product is purchased and sent through the selected shipping route.
Arrival in TanzaniaThe shipment reaches the relevant entry point and enters the clearance process.
Customs clearanceRequired customs and import procedures are completed with the relevant authorities.
Final deliveryOnce released, the goods are delivered or forwarded to the agreed customer location.

Can customs cause delays?

Yes. Customs clearance is controlled by government authorities. Most shipments proceed normally, but occasional delays can occur and Fumba cannot force the authorities to release a shipment faster. When delays happen, we continue to follow the shipment and keep the customer updated.

How long will an imported order take?

Delivery time depends on the retailer, stock availability, shipping method, origin country, type of goods and customs clearance. Fumba provides an estimated timeframe when quoting or confirming the order, but international and customs processes can affect the final delivery date.

During peak periods such as the end-of-year holiday season, international logistics and customs can slow down. Customers planning time-sensitive December orders are advised to place international orders early.
