A Time Release Study (TRS) carried out at the Trans-Kalahari Border Post has revealed that it takes about 5 hours to clear imported goods and 4 hours to clear goods for export.
The TRS conducted from 15 – 25 January 2024 aimed to identify trade bottlenecks and establish baseline clearance times for people and goods.
A summary of the outcome was presented in the NamRA Newsletter for May 2025.
The study revealed several delays throughout the import and export processes.
Notably, the study found that the average time taken to clear imported goods at the border, from the time a truck arrives at the Entry Gate at the border to the time it exits at the Exit gate, is 5 hours and 31 minutes.
