Security concerns when shipping to Central African Republic

There are some very real security concerns when shipping to the Central African Republic, no matter how you choose to send something to the region.  If you choose to ship via ocean cargo freight liners, you should be aware that there is a great deal of piracy in the waterways around that region and your shipment could become compromised from their efforts.  And even though there are many anti-piracy procedures and security measures in place for these sea vessels, you can't protect them all from outlaws on the open seas.  Additionally there is a great deal of narcotic trafficking from the Central African Republic.  This means that some shipments can be confiscated by drug runners and repurposed for their drug activities as well as increased Customs searches. 

Preparing your shipment to Central African Republic

Before you ship to the Central African Republic, you will want to get a tracking number affixed to your parcel and pull out some insurance on its contents.  This way you can get at least the monetary value of its contents back if your package is lost or stolen and you will know when your package gets delivered.  You should talk to your shipping company for guidelines on the packaging such as size and weight before getting it all boxed up as well.  This will help your contents to stay safely packaged in transit as well as help to keep you within guidelines that they may have in place.
