Customs Clearing & Clearing Agents
Import, export, port and border clearance coordinated through licensed clearing agents — with or without Megira transport.
Clearance Coordinated, Cargo Released
Customs is where shipments most often stall. Megira coordinates the paperwork, the clearing agent and the release of your cargo, so your goods keep moving — whether they arrive by sea, air or road.
Need clearing only? You can request customs clearing on its own, without booking Megira transport. Just choose Customs Clearing on the quote form.

How we deliver customs clearing: Megira plans, coordinates and manages the shipment for you. Steps that legally require a licence — such as customs declarations, airline or ocean bookings — are carried out through appropriately licensed clearing agents, carriers and authorised partners we work with, and road legs are run on Megira's own fleet wherever possible.
Types of clearing — what's the difference?
- Import clearing — goods entering Rwanda: declaration, duties and taxes, release.
- Export clearing — goods leaving Rwanda: export declaration and documents.
- Port clearing — release of cargo at Dar es Salaam or Mombasa before the road journey.
- Border clearing — formalities at crossings such as Rusumo or Gatuna/Katuna.
- Transit clearing — documents for cargo passing through a country to another destination.
