Professional Clearing With Online Visibility

Led by Miss Mwangala, who began clearing in 2003, Ultima combines practical customs experience with an online place to assess vehicle documents and check existing cases.

The service quotation separates agency fees from customs charges. The driver can supply the documents while the business office reviews the costs and arranges payment.

Your Customs Clearing Questions

Documents, agency fees and getting the right request started.

Which service should I select?

Choose transit for goods passing through Zambia, imports for goods entering Zambia, or exports for goods leaving Zambia. Tell Ultima about temporary movements or re-exports so the appropriate procedure can be confirmed.

Is the quotation free?

Yes. Provide your consignment and route details, review the request and send it to Ultima. You do not pay to request a quotation.

Can I start at the border?

Yes. New requests can begin before arrival or at the border. Do not open a duplicate declaration for goods another agent is already clearing.

Which documents should I provide?

Start with the commercial invoice, transport document and packing list where applicable. Vehicle records, permits and certificates depend on the goods and procedure. Each service page sets out what to send.

Can I upload commercial cargo documents?

Use the commercial quotation request for cargo. The current document-upload assessment accepts vehicle documents only; unrelated documents must not be sent through that assessment.

How do I follow an existing case?

Open Check My Case with your existing Ultima reference. The case view shows the latest recorded progress; a quotation enquiry alone does not create a customs declaration.
