Our story

Trans-Continental Transitários Importação & Exportação, Lda. has spent more than three decades helping businesses move their goods safely, efficiently and reliably across Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and international markets.

We serve importers, exporters, industries, mining companies, international traders and project developers, combining long practical knowledge of Angola’s ports, customs procedures and borders with modern customs systems and professional operational teams.

Our vision

To become an ever more important logistics gateway between Angola, Central and Southern Africa and the world.
