Your customs-clearing partner in Zambia
At Three Stripes Clearing and Forwarding, we focus on what matters to importers and exporters: clear communication, complete shipment information and practical assistance with customs-clearing requirements. Our office is at Plot Number 47, Kafubu Road, Livingstone, and we serve customers throughout Zambia. Whether you are preparing a first import or coordinating an established trade operation, we make it straightforward to start a conversation about your consignment.
Our import and export clearing services
We handle enquiries for goods entering and leaving Zambia. For imports, we review what you are bringing into the country, the origin of the goods, the proposed entry point and the supporting commercial records. For exports, we discuss the goods being shipped, the destination market, transport arrangements and relevant permits or certificates. We tailor the next steps to the shipment instead of treating every consignment as identical.
We put the documents first
A good clearing process starts long before a truck reaches the border. We ask for a clear goods description, invoice, quantities, packing details and transport information so that missing or inconsistent paperwork can be identified early. Some commodities also require specialist permits or certificates. We explain what information is relevant to your enquiry and where further confirmation from the responsible authority may be needed.
Serving importers and exporters nationwide
Our business is based in Livingstone, but you do not need to live nearby to contact us. We receive customs-clearing requests involving Lusaka, the Copperbelt, other Zambian towns and major border corridors. Tell us where your consignment will enter or leave Zambia, who is transporting it and where the goods are going. We will use those details to discuss the appropriate approach.
Straightforward contact and clear communication
You can contact us through our website, by email at info@threestripesclearing.com or on WhatsApp at +260 977 751 858. Our contact hours are 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. When you request a quote, include as much accurate cargo information as you can; we can then respond with relevant questions rather than asking you to repeat the basics.
Why customers choose to speak with us
We take a practical, service-led approach. We explain what information we need, distinguish government duties and taxes from service charges, and recognise that customs decisions depend on the relevant authorities and applicable rules. Our goal is to help you approach import or export clearance with fewer unanswered questions and a clear line of communication from the start.

How we work with your shipment
We begin with the goods and the journey. When you contact us, tell us whether the consignment is entering or leaving Zambia, what is being shipped, where it is moving and which commercial papers you have. We use this information to discuss the appropriate clearing requirements and the next steps.
This approach makes it easier for customers to understand which missing details should be obtained from the supplier or transporter.
