Transit to a landlocked country: what to watch on T1 documents?
Grace W.

Equipment enters Tanzania and transits to Zambia; customs demands a transit guarantee.
The forwarder says the guarantee should have been arranged earlier and now must be done on site.
Besides the T1, what else is needed to avoid detention?

The guarantee must be arranged at origin; doing it on arrival means the truck waits, the costliest option.

Carry the full set: invoice, packing list, bill copy and transit declaration; one missing item stops the truck.

Choose a forwarder that has run this corridor; corridor risk lives in details, not price.
