Rooted in Zambia. Built on Border Experience.
First Protocol Logistics was founded with a singular purpose: to make trade across Zambia's borders simpler, faster, and fully compliant. Too many businesses lose time and money to clearance delays, incorrect documentation, and clearing agents who go quiet the moment a shipment gets complicated.
We built First Protocol around the opposite of that experience — meticulous documentation, direct engagement with ZRA, and straight communication that treats every shipment, whether it's a single imported vehicle or a fleet of trucks, as if it were our own.
Our team brings decades of combined hands-on experience clearing goods and vehicles at Kazungula, Chirundu and Nakonde — commercial consignments, personal vehicles, the paperwork behind both, and the duty calculations that decide what you actually pay.
Four principles that shape every interaction, every clearance, and every decision we make.
We declare accurately, advise honestly, and never cut corners — even when it would be easier. You're trusting us with your compliance; we don't take that lightly.
Time at the border costs money. We prepare documentation properly and move through every step without unnecessary delay, so your goods aren't sitting in a queue longer than they need to.
Customs requirements and ZRA processes change. We keep up with how the rules and paperwork evolve so you don't have to — and adapt quickly rather than sticking to the old way out of habit.
Every question gets answered, and every update comes without you having to chase us — regular updates on WhatsApp at every milestone. Your shipment gets treated like it's the only one we're clearing.
For most clearances: commercial invoice, packing list, transport document (bill of lading or manifest) and your TPIN. Vehicles also need the export certificate and title. Send us what you have and we'll confirm what's missing.
