DG LCL to Tanzania: what the numbers mean
Dar es Salaam is the only Tanzanian port on the November 2026 rate sheet. It is a relay booking: the box moves through Jebel Ali and reaches Dar es Salaam in 42 days on a Saturday sailing, billed at USD650/CBM on a 3 CBM minimum. The transshipment column reads USD450/BILL with a note that only Class 8 and Class 9 cargo is taken on the relay, so those are the classes that actually move to this port.
The port is marked PP. Under the lane note that means prepaid freight only, no freight-collect uplift, and no pre-shipment inspection certificate. Ocean freight is only part of the invoice: add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the Class 2 destination surcharge, and a USD20/TON weight surcharge once TON:M3 reaches 0.75.
