Side curtain trailers must feature reinforced chassis (minimum 8mm steel) and anti-corrosion treatments for road salt resistance. Customs clearance requires pre-shipment inspection certificates (COMESA\/SADC-approved) and real-time electronic cargo tracking (e-CTN) to avoid delays at Beitbridge Border Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.
