Route and border crossings
The standard routing for Juba is the Northern Corridor through Malaba and Kampala, then north through Gulu to the Elegu–Nimule border. From Nimule it is about 190 km to Juba. South Sudan is an EAC member but not yet in the Single Customs Territory, so transit documentation through Kenya and Uganda is prepared separately from the South Sudan import declaration at Nimule.

Transit time and what affects it
Typical transit from Mombasa to Juba is 7–10 days from port release to delivery. The main variables are the time of customs release in Mombasa, weighbridge queues on the Kenyan leg, processing at Malaba and the delivery window at the consignee. Tarazad tracks every truck by GPS and shares status updates at each milestone, so you know where the cargo is at all times.
Cargo and truck options
The lane carries humanitarian supplies, food aid, fuel, construction materials and commercial imports for Juba traders. Convoy scheduling and driver security briefings are standard practice on the Nimule–Juba stretch.
Full truckload is available in 10-tonne, 20-tonne and 30-tonne units plus skeletal trailers for 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Smaller consignments can move as less-than-truckload on scheduled departures. See full truckload, less-than-truckload and customs clearance.
