Can you ship a used Komatsu excavator to Tanzania?
Yes, ExcaYard regularly ships used Komatsu excavators to Tanzania. We handle the entire process from sourcing and 150-point inspection to export documentation and shipping via RoRo, container, or flat-rack. With our experience in East African exports, we ensure your machine arrives safely and compliantly.
Machine Condition and 150-Point Inspection
Every used Komatsu excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers all major systems: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical, and structural components. We verify actual working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it leaves China. For more details, see our hydraulic system check and undercarriage check pages.
Export Documentation and Certifications for Tanzania
Tanzania requires a PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) certificate for used machinery. ExcaYard handles PVoC and other certifications such as SONCAP (Nigeria), SABER (Saudi Arabia), GSA (Ghana), and KEBS. We prepare all necessary documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Our team ensures your shipment clears customs smoothly.
Payment Terms: T/T or L/C
We accept T/T (USD wire) and L/C through Bank of China. For first-time buyers, we recommend a 30% deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. L/C is available for larger orders. We also accept Wise for smaller transactions. All payment details are provided in the proforma invoice. See our payment FAQ for more.

Default ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin. CIF lead time is typically 28-45 days port-to-port. We handle all logistics and provide you with tracking updates.
