DR Congo
Import & Export Trade DataA resource-rich $41B+ trade economy anchoring the global EV and electronics supply chains. As the world's largest producer of cobalt and unrefined copper—access verified shipment-level intelligence mapping the DRC's critical overland mining corridors and border crossings.
The Cobalt & Copper Corridor
The DRC provides over 70% of the world's cobalt, an essential component for EV batteries. Our data tracks the critical shipments from the Katanga region across the Zambian border, offering a real-time pulse on global tech and automotive supply chains.
Strategic China Partnership
China is the DRC's dominant trade partner, absorbing over 73% of its exports. This bilateral relationship defines the mineral landscape of the 21st century. Access granular data on Sino-Congolese trade flows, including mine-to-port logistics.
Industrial Import Boom
To sustain its massive mining output, the DRC is a top importer of heavy delivery trucks, earth-moving machinery, and refined fuels. Our data captures the high-value procurement trends of the nation's primary industrial and mining entities.
China is the unrivaled trade anchor for the DRC, while South Africa and Zambia serve as the primary conduits for industrial imports and regional logistics.
The DRC is a global foundation for the battery and tech sectors, exporting high-value unrefined ores in exchange for the industrial machinery and fuel needed to keep its mines operational.
The nation's top import dependency. Refined petroleum and specialized oils are imported to power the massive logistics network of the Copperbelt and eastern mining regions.
Industrial processing machines, pumps, and specialized mining equipment. Essential for the ongoing expansion of the Kamoa-Kakula and Kolwezi mining complexes.
Delivery trucks and heavy-duty vehicles for ore transport. Road logistics are the primary method for moving Congolese minerals to southern African ports.
Driven by a nationwide infrastructure and housing boom. Includes massive imports of Portland cement and sulfur for industrial chemical processing.
Electric generators and telecommunications gear. Crucial for decentralised power generation in mining zones and urban telecommunication expansion.
High-value packaged medicaments and vaccines imported primarily from India and Belgium to sustain the country's public and private healthcare networks.
The absolute monopoly of Congolese exports. DRC is Africa's largest copper producer, shipping massive volumes of cathodes and unrefined copper to Chinese manufacturing hubs.
The crown jewel of the digital age. DRC provides over 70% of the world's cobalt, exported almost entirely to China for use in lithium-ion batteries and high-tech alloys.
Raw ores and concentrates mined and trucked directly to neighboring Zambia for processing or shipped via East African ports to Asian smelters.
Mined in artisanal and industrial operations across the eastern provinces, raw gold is a massive revenue generator, exported for refining to the UAE and India.
Sourced from the second-largest tropical forest in the world, the DRC exports valuable hardwoods and sawn timber primarily to China and Vietnam.
An emerging non-mineral export sector. High-grade Arabica coffee and cocoa beans are exported to boutique European markets and regional hubs.
Sourced directly from details filled by importers and exporters at the time of import/export, capturing the high-volume road logistics traversing the Kasumbalesa mining corridor.

The DRC is the bedrock of the global EV transition. Tracking its trade provides a macro-level indicator of global battery supply chains and Asian industrial health.
With the DRC providing 70% of the world's cobalt, its export data is the primary signal for global battery markets. Shipment tracking allow manufacturers to track exact volumes and forecast future supply availability based on current mine-to-border activity.
As the nation relies heavily on imported refined fuels (~25%), tracking these flows is mandatory for energy traders. Inbound diesel and fuel volumes from South Africa and the UAE provide direct intelligence on the nation's industrial mining capacity.
The DRC's trade moves via road to southern African ports. Analyzing the flow of cathodes and ores across the Kasumbalesa border provides logistics firms the ultimate blueprint for transit times, port congestion, and regional freight capacity.
The DRC produces some of the world's most valuable tropical hardwoods. Export data offers global timber dealers and financial analysts verified shipment volumes and destination data, crucial for ensuring ethical supply chain traceability and pricing.
