Export from Dubai

BW

Hydraulic & industrial hose supplier in Botswana

Indus Hydraulics ships hydraulic hose, fittings, valves and industrial hose from Jebel Ali to Botswana by sea to Durban and road to Gaborone, by Walvis Bay and the Trans-Kalahari for the west, or by air via Johannesburg. Botswana is inside the Southern African Customs Union, so a consignment cleared at Durban or Walvis Bay moves on without a second customs entry. Diamonds at Jwaneng and Orapa, copper and coal at Morupule are what the equipment goes to.

Questions we get asked

Supplying Botswana, in detail

01

How long does shipping take from Dubai to Gaborone?

Typically 24 to 32 days by sea to Durban, then road to Gaborone. Via Walvis Bay and the Trans-Kalahari corridor it is 26 to 34 days, often the better choice for the west of the country. Air freight via Johannesburg to Gaborone takes six to eight days. The inland leg to a mine site is quoted rather than estimated.

02

Does SACU membership help imports into Botswana?

Yes. Botswana is in the Southern African Customs Union, so goods cleared at Durban or Walvis Bay reach it without a second customs entry. That removes a step that costs days on most landlocked lanes, and it is why the decision worth making at quotation is the corridor rather than the paperwork.

03

Should we ship via Durban or Walvis Bay?

Durban for most orders, including Gaborone, Francistown and the eastern mines. Walvis Bay and the Trans-Kalahari where the delivery is in the west or north-west, such as Ghanzi or Maun. We name the port and corridor in the quotation, and quote DAP Gaborone or your site where you want delivery included.

04

Which documents are needed to import hydraulic equipment into Botswana?

The formalities are light: a SACU customs declaration lodged by the consignee or clearing agent on arrival, and an import permit only where the product requires one, arranged by the consignee with the ministry before shipment. The goods carry a Certificate of Origin attested by the Dubai Chamber, the bill of lading and packing list, and material certificates where ordered.

05

Does everything need an import permit in Botswana?

No. Some products do and most do not. We confirm at quotation which lines are affected, so the permit can be arranged before shipment rather than discovered at the border. Sending the complete part list up front is the quickest way to get that answer.

06

Can you supply and deliver to the diamond mines at Jwaneng and Orapa?

Yes. We supply slurry valves, four-spiral hose, high-cycle cylinders and crusher-duty components, with material certificates where the contract calls for them. Deliveries go DAP to the mine gate at Jwaneng, Orapa or Letlhakane, with the inland leg from Durban or Walvis Bay quoted rather than estimated.

07

Do you supply the copper mines on the Kalahari Copper Belt?

Yes. Operations around Ghanzi in the north-west use the same duty classes as the diamond mines: abrasion-rated hose, crusher and mill hydraulics, cylinders and slurry valves. For that part of the country, Walvis Bay and the Trans-Kalahari corridor are usually the shorter route, and we quote DAP to the mine gate.

08

Do you supply Morupule power station and colliery?

Yes. We supply actuators, governor hydraulics, valves and hose for coal-fired generation and for coal mining and handling plant around Palapye. Send nameplate data or existing part numbers; we match the specification and quote the Durban corridor, which is the natural route to the eastern side of the country.

09

Which hose do we need for dewatering and suction duty?

A suction-rated hose with a helix or rigid reinforcement, not braid alone. A pressure hose fitted to dewatering, recirculation or tanker discharge works briefly, then flattens under vacuum and starves the pump. With water scarce and heavily recycled through Botswana's plants, tell us whether each line pulls as well as pushes and we specify a hose rated for both.

10

Do you crimp hose assemblies before dispatch to Botswana?

Yes. Assemblies are crimped and pressure-tested in Dubai and shipped as finished items, tagged with the hose, the fittings and the test date. We build to SAE J517, EN 853 and EN 856, or ISO 18752 constructions as specified, so a remote mine receives a ready-to-fit assembly rather than loose components.

11

How do we request a quotation from Botswana?

Send the part list, quantities, the delivery site and your preferred port if you have one. Quotations are in USD, which keeps the valuation and bank documentation consistent, and name the corridor and Incoterm: DAP Gaborone or your site, CIF Durban, FOB Jebel Ali or EXW Dubai for a nominated forwarder.
