About us
A Zambian logistics company built around the border.
Incorporated in 2017 and operating from Lusaka, Zambia, CMK Logistics Solutions Limited clears, moves and documents cross-border cargo for businesses trading in and through Zambia.
Our story
From a clearing desk to a corridor network
CMK began with a straightforward observation: most cross-border delays in the region are not caused by distance or traffic, but by documentation that reaches the border incomplete. We built the company around fixing that — preparing files properly, and having people at the stations where cargo actually crosses.
Today we coordinate clearing, freight, warehousing support and trade compliance from our Lusaka head office, with operational presence across 8 border stations. Our regional movements run through transport partners we have worked with over years, which lets us match equipment and route to the cargo rather than the other way round.
We work with mining, construction, manufacturing, trading, NGO and industrial supply clients, as well as businesses importing into Zambia for the first time.
Our PRICE commitments
The PRICE of trust
At CMK, we know the PRICE of trust: Professionalism, Reliability, Integrity, Customer Commitment and Excellence. These five commitments shape how we prepare a file, how we speak to a client and how we behave at the border.
Professionalism
Trained clearing and coordination people who know the process, the paperwork and the officers they work with.
Reliability
We commit to what we can actually deliver, and we say so early when a movement changes.
Integrity
Straight answers on cost, timing and risk — including when the answer is not the one you wanted.
Customer Commitment
A named coordinator holds your file and stays with the movement through to delivery confirmation.
Excellence
Files prepared to stand up to review, and a working method we keep improving rather than defending.
How we work
Five habits behind those commitments
Integrity
Straight answers on cost, timing and risk — including when the answer is not the one you wanted.
Efficiency
Documents prepared ahead of arrival so cargo is not waiting on paperwork.
Compliance
Declarations and records that hold up to review, not shortcuts that create later exposure.
Responsiveness
Border issues do not keep office hours. Our team answers when the movement needs it.
Partnership
We work as an extension of your logistics function, over years rather than single shipments.
Operating model
One file, four disciplines
- Step 01
HQ Coordination
Lusaka plans the movement, allocates transport and owns the file end to end.
- Step 02
Border Execution
Our people at the station lodge, follow up and clear the cargo on the ground.
- Step 03
Documentation & Compliance
Entries, permits and records are prepared, checked and filed against each shipment.
- Step 04
Client Service
One contact keeps you updated through to delivery and closes the file with you.
Executive management
From the Offices of Executive Management
Two offices carry responsibility for how CMK Logistics Solutions Limited operates and grows.
Office of Operations & Administration
Disciplined execution, every file, every day.
Our responsibility is that what we promise at quotation is what happens at the border. That means files prepared before cargo arrives, declarations that stand up to review, and people at the station who know the process and the officers they work with. We invest in our team, hold ourselves accountable when a movement slips, and change the way we work when we find a better one. Dependable service is not a slogan here — it is the standard our clients measure us against.

Office of Business Development & Finance
Growth built on partnership and financial discipline.
We build long-term client relationships rather than one-off transactions, and we price honestly so the commercial relationship holds over years. Sound financial management keeps CMK able to commit to the movements our clients depend on, while measured market development opens new corridors, sectors and opportunities for the businesses we serve. Our aim is durable value — for our clients, our partners and the people who work here.
