Customs clearing, built into a full logistics operation.
Laud Logistics Company Limited is a Tanzania-based customs clearing and freight forwarding company, based in Dar es Salaam and serving importers and exporters trading across East and Central Africa.
From customs clearance to a full logistics offering.
Laud Logistics started by handling customs clearance for importers and exporters moving cargo through Dar es Salaam. That work — reading a shipment's paperwork correctly, filing it right the first time, and following it through TRA and port procedures — is still the foundation of what we do.
As clients asked for more, the business grew into a fuller logistics offering: sea, air, and road freight forwarding, bonded and general warehousing, and inland transport to destinations across Tanzania and its landlocked neighbours. Our team of TRA-licensed clearing agents works each file directly with customs and port authorities until the cargo is released.

Mission
To deliver reliable, well-documented customs clearing and freight forwarding that removes friction from cross-border trade — so clients can focus on their business instead of their paperwork.
Vision
To be a dependable logistics partner for businesses trading through Tanzania and into the neighbouring markets they rely on, handling each shipment with the same care as the last.
How we work a file
Five principles that shape how our agents handle every shipment, large or small.
Integrity
We tell clients what a clearance will actually cost and how long it will actually take, even when the answer is inconvenient.
Reliability
A shipment on our file gets handled the same way every time — the same checks, the same standards, regardless of size.
Customer Focus
Every file has one agent who knows it end to end, so questions get answered by someone who is actually working the shipment.
Accountability
When something affects a shipment — a delay, a missing document — we say so early, not after the fact.
Attention to Detail
Customs paperwork leaves no room for a missed field or a wrong code, so our agents check documentation against the shipment before it is filed.
We work from the port, not just a desk in an office.
Being based in Dar es Salaam means our agents are on hand at the terminal and the customs office — not coordinating a clearance from a distance.
