Which cities in Zimbabwe do you deliver custom preforms to?

We deliver anywhere in Zimbabwe. The cities with the highest demand for custom preforms are Mutare, Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru and Kwekwe, because of their fmcg, beverages & packaging industries.

Indicative sea transit from Mundra or Kandla (Gujarat) to Beira / Durban is about 18–28 days, plus production and inland time. The confirmed schedule is given in the quotation.

What does custom preforms cost in Zimbabwe?

Price depends on the size, grade, quantity and packing of the custom preforms you need, so we quote per enquiry in USD, which your bank converts to Zimbabwe Gold (USD widely used). Mixed-product containers usually lower the landed cost per item.

What import rules apply to custom preforms in Zimbabwe?

Customs duty plus VAT (SACU / SADC frameworks where applicable). Regulated products need a CBCA certificate under Zimbabwe's pre-shipment programme. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Zimbabwe?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Zimbabwe, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Zimbabwe?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
