MWB TRADING offers importers, distributors and contractors in South Sudan products from Tunisia for power networks, water supply and buildings: cables and wires, transformers and substations, generators and pumps, pipes and fittings, and lighting. As the country has no access to the sea, our offers are made delivered to the port of Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, on CFR or CIF terms, from Radès (Tunis) or Sfax; onward transport to Juba is to be arranged with your freight forwarder.
This guide sets out the verified points for importing into South Sudan: the Northern Corridor via Mombasa and the Nimule border, the Dar es Salaam route, the certificate of conformity required before shipment by the national standards bureau, the electronic cargo tracking note (ECTN), the EAC customs union and what to state in your enquiry.
Sources: South Sudanese and Kenyan press on the ECTN (2024) and an industry list of countries requiring it (February 2026); approved bodies of the national standards bureau’s PVoC programme (2024 and 2025) and Juba press (March 2025); South Sudan Revenue Authority, as reported by the press (January 2025, January and February 2026); regional press (June and August 2026); Logistics Cluster (November 2025). Checked in October 2026; to be confirmed with your freight forwarder before each shipment.
These ranges from the MWB catalogue are offered from Tunisia for delivery to the port of Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, from where the goods continue to South Sudan. References, required standards and quantities are confirmed in each offer; each consignment must be covered by a certificate of conformity obtained before departure.

Lighting and luminaires Street lightingSouth Sudan has no access to the sea. Containers leave from Radès (Tunis) or Sfax, with transhipment depending on the shipping line, for the port of Mombasa, in Kenya; the goods then follow the Northern Corridor by road, through Uganda, to the Nimule border and on to Juba. The Tanzanian ports of Dar es Salaam and Tanga are another route: in January 2026, the revenue authorities of the two countries agreed to develop cargo flows to South Sudan through them. A direct road between Kenya and Juba, via Nadapal, is planned. During the rainy season, many inland roads become difficult to use: allow some margin in your delivery schedule.
Customs fall under the South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA). For cargo arriving by sea, the importer presents its documents to the SSRA office in Mombasa, which issues the payment notice for duties and taxes, to be paid at a bank in Juba before release; this is how SSRA described the procedure in January 2025. An electronic cargo tracking note (ECTN) was made mandatory in 2024, by an order of the Ministry of Finance, for all goods bound for or leaving the country; SSRA is responsible for implementing it. The official sources consulted do not specify the procedure applied in 2025-2026: have your freight forwarder confirm whether it is required for your shipment and when to obtain it. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and technical data sheets for the shipment.
Goods imported into South Sudan must be covered by a certificate of conformity (CoC), a clearance document required for each consignment. It is issued before departure, under the pre-export verification of conformity (PVoC) programme of the South Sudan National Bureau of Standards (SSNBS), by an approved body: document check, pre-shipment inspection or laboratory testing, as the case may be. Construction materials and electrical products are among the regulated categories. In March 2025, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and SSNBS urged importers to comply with national standards and this certification. Product test reports and technical data sheets make the check easier.

Yes. Each consignment must be covered by a certificate of conformity issued before departure, under the PVoC programme of the South Sudan National Bureau of Standards (SSNBS), by an approved body; it is required for clearance. The check may include a pre-shipment inspection and testing. We prepare the invoice, packing list and technical data sheets needed for the application.
An electronic cargo tracking note (ECTN) was made mandatory in 2024 for goods bound for South Sudan, and the South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) is responsible for implementing it; an industry list from 2026 still includes it. Have your freight forwarder confirm whether it is required for your shipment and when to obtain it.
A member of the East African Community (EAC) since 2016, South Sudan is bound by its customs union and common external tariff. In February 2026, however, SSRA considered some national rates outdated, and the Ministry of Finance was considering aligning them with those of EAC countries. Have your freight forwarder confirm the rate applicable to each product of Tunisian origin; we prepare the certificate of origin.
Yes. Several product families, such as cables, pipes and luminaires, can be grouped in the same 20 or 40-foot container. Small volumes travel as groupage, and urgent small quantities can be sent by air from Tunis-Carthage on request. Our offers are made on CFR or CIF terms delivered to the port of arrival, or FOB on request.
