Importing trucks from Europe to Africa can seem complicated, but with the right exporter it becomes a straightforward and secure process. At Britannia Export Consultants Ltd, we’ve helped hundreds of African businesses and individuals successfully buy and ship trucks, vans, tractors, and parts from Europe.

Here’s a complete step-by-step guide to importing a truck from Europe to Africa.

🚚 Step 1: Choose the Right Truck

Europe offers some of the most reliable used trucks for African roads, including:

Mercedes Actros / SK

Volvo FH / FL series

MAN TGA / TGS

Scania P & R series

DAF XF / CF

These trucks are known for their durability, fuel efficiency, and availability of spare parts.

📄 Step 2: Prepare the Required Documents

To ship a truck from Europe to Africa, you’ll need:

Commercial Invoice & Bill of Sale

Export Certificate (Vehicle Registration)

Bill of Lading (BOL)

Customs Clearance Documents

We handle the paperwork for our customers, ensuring there are no delays at customs.

🚢 Step 3: Choose the Shipping Method

There are two main ways to ship trucks to Africa:

1. RoRo Shipping (Roll-on Roll-off)

The truck is driven directly onto the vessel.

Cheapest method for complete trucks.

Available from ports like Tilbury (UK), Antwerp (Belgium), Leixões (Portugal).

2. Container Shipping

Truck or parts are loaded into containers.

More secure, ideal for parts, tractors, or high-value vehicles.

We’ll advise you on the best option based on your truck and destination.

Typical costs include:

Purchase Price of the Truck
