  1. Routes in

    Eswatini is landlocked. Equipment usually comes from Durban or Johannesburg, or through Maputo (Mozambique).

  2. Customs

    Clearance is through the Eswatini Revenue Service (ERS); Eswatini is in the Southern African Customs Union. Most importers use a licensed clearing agent.
