For buyers
One requirement, one desk, one quotation, one payment. Instead of assembling a supplier, a transporter, a clearing agent and a currency arrangement yourself.
Buying across this border usually means finding a supplier through a search, chasing quotations over email and WhatsApp, checking the company is real, arranging the currency separately, appointing a transporter, confirming the documents and talking to four intermediaries before the goods arrive. Each of those is a place where the price gets worse, the date slips or the money goes to the wrong party.
Most of what buyers need is already on the market. Browse the Trade Floor for what suppliers are offering, and open the Building supplies and Medical supplies catalogues to put lines straight into your cart.
If you cannot find what you want, post your need. The trade desk sources against it, verifies the supplier and comes back to you with one quotation.
Buyers in Mozambique order on AfrexMarket as clients of Massango Holdings LDA. If you are not yet a client, say so when you post and the desk arranges it before your order is placed.
Before we put a supplier in front of you we look at whether they can actually produce the quantity to the specification in the lead time, whether their papers are in order for this category, and how they have performed on previous corridor orders.
The quotation carries the goods at the quoted price, with logistics - freight, the border and clearing, duties and taxes - shown as its own charge, calculated on the invoice of what you require. Not a goods price with surprises behind it.
The order carries a payment reference into Afrexpay. Amount, currency, applied rate and status stay attached to the transaction, so a question about the money is answerable against the order it belongs to.
We appoint the transporter and the clearing agent, track the consignment through collection, transit, the border and clearing, and attach proof of delivery to the order.
AfrexMarket is built to turn a fairly informal commercial requirement into a structured transaction. A retailer in Maputo asking for two commercial chest freezers and a contractor asking for a hundred tonnes of cement use the same request form.
What changes between them is what the transaction needs behind the scenes: how much verification, which documents, what approvals, how the payment is staged. That work sits with us, not with you.
If you buy the same thing regularly, tell us. Recurring volume over a fixed period can be quoted as a standing arrangement rather than re-sourced every time.
Your requirement is recorded and referenced. It is not published, and your details are not sent to a list of suppliers.
Specification, substitutes, packaging, delivery point, whether you want us to arrange transport.
One quotation, with the currency and the applied rate stated, and a validity period on it.
Accept and the order is created. Decline and nothing further happens. The requirement stays on file so a repeat is quicker next time.
English or Portuguese. The desk answers in the language you write in.
