Mbandaka

Mbandaka, located on the Congo River, has limited transport infrastructure, making international shipping challenging. Access is primarily through river ports, and there is no international airport in the city, so freight is often routed through larger nearby cities. Major courier services operating in the region include DHL and UPS. Delivery times from abroad can range from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the shipping method and customs procedures. Importing goods may require additional documentation, such as permits and compliance certificates, which should be considered when shipping parcels.
