The Solar Case, step by step.
A trader wants to import solar panels from China and sell them in Goma, DR Congo. Here is what TAAI produces for that trade.
China's solar exports to DR Congo grew +482% YoY in Q1 2026 — DR Congo is now Africa's 4th-largest importer. Source: China Customs / Agence Ecofin.
Shenzhen → Mombasa (40HQ sea freight $3,700–$4,500), then overland Mombasa → Goma at ~$3.00/km. Source: 2024 East Africa Logistics Performance Index.
Goma is currently in an armed-conflict zone. Primary commercial routes are severed. TAAI recommends re-routing or waiting.
Entry to DR Congo requires a FERI certificate ($150–$300). Import duties: 5–20% CIF plus 16% VAT. Source: OGEFREM.
AfDB approved a $10M trade finance guarantee to BOA-DRC for SME imports of energy equipment. A trader can apply for an LC there.
