Why Choose Haraka Freight

Choosing a logistics partner is a big decision. Your cargo, your customers and your cash flow all depend on it. Why choose Haraka Freight? Here is why businesses that import, export and trade across East Africa work with us.

1. One team for the whole journey

Freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, trucking, and local and regional distribution are our major services. Because we handle them together, there are no gaps between the ship, the truck, customs and your warehouse, and no finger-pointing between suppliers when something goes wrong. You have one contact who knows your shipment from start to finish.

2. Custom-tailored logistics solutions

Our dedicated team of professionals works hard to supply customers with a wide range of cargo requirements with custom-tailored logistics solutions that are tailored to your specific requirements. A container of spare parts, a truck of food products and a heavy-lift project shipment need very different plans. We build each one around the cargo.

3. Coverage where you need it

In Eastern Africa, we create and deploy practical transportation, warehousing and distribution services in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi, as well as transit commodities to Goma and Bukavu. We work on both the Northern Corridor from Mombasa and the Central Corridor from Dar es Salaam. See our network and freight routes.

4. Customs expertise

Customs clearance is offered as part of our own services, and as a stand-alone, full customs clearance and brokerage service for importers, exporters and local and overseas cargo agents. Our experienced customs team prepares the documents, follows release procedures up to delivery and handles special procedures such as temporary entry and re-exporting. See customs clearance in Rwanda.

5. Compliance for global companies

Our IOR/EOR department imports and exports shipments for global corporate companies and follows the best practices of global customs and tax compliance. We also handle DDP shipments. See Importer of Record services.

6. End-to-end value

Through producing value and innovating end-to-end international logistics services, we focus on serving customers with global sourcing and supply-chain management demands. That includes help choosing ports and Incoterms, consolidating orders, holding buffer stock and protecting cargo with cargo insurance.

7. Honest, practical advice

We tell you what we know about routes, documents and risks, including when a border is disrupted or a different corridor would serve you better. We do not promise transit times we cannot control. We give you a realistic plan and keep you updated.
