How the Speedaf → South Africa Last Mile handoff works

Follow the parcel across both networks without waiting on asynchronous webhooks or losing visibility at the handoff boundary.

1. Speedaf Guangzhou / Yiwu air consolidation
Speedaf receives the marketplace parcel in China and prepares electronic customs clearance documents.
2. Johannesburg OR Tambo / Lagos / Nairobi customs clearance
Upon landing at JNB, SARS customs duties/VAT are cleared and the parcel enters Speedaf's local hub.
3. Final-mile delivery or pickup point drop
Speedaf's local fleet, The Courier Guy (Pudo), or SAPO completes delivery to the recipient.
