Factors Affecting Shipping Time From China To Tanzania
- Seasonal Fluctuations: In certain seasons, especially during holidays, the transportation demand increases significantly, which may lead to tight capacity, thereby extending the transportation time and increasing transportation costs.
- Route Selection: Direct routes can significantly shorten the transportation time, but they are usually more expensive. If the goods are transported through a transit port, although the cost is lower, the mid-transit change will increase the time.
- Cargo Nature: Special cargo such as dangerous goods or perishable items usually require additional handling and security checks, which may extend the transportation time and increase the transportation cost.
- Port Handling Efficiency: Congestion and customs clearance speed at Tanzania’s major ports such as Dar es Salaam will directly affect the delivery time of the goods. During the peak period of the port, the handling efficiency decreases, which may cause cargo delays.
- Weather: Weather conditions can cause delays, especially for sea and air freight.
