ZC Vulnerable – High-Theft-Risk Goods

Not all cargo is high in declared value, but some items attract greater theft risk during transit. ZC Vulnerable is designed for goods that are attractive to smugglers or thieves — such as consumer electronics, branded merchandise, and premium medical devices. With Zambia Cargo, these shipments receive discreet, controlled handling to reduce exposure and risk.

What We Secure

  • Consumer electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles)
  • Branded fashion items and accessories
  • Premium medical devices and laboratory equipment
  • Small, high-demand consumer goods (perfumes, watches, batteries, etc.)
  • Shipments vulnerable to diversion or pilferage in transit

Handling Measures

  • Discreet acceptance: Vulnerable shipments are received away from general cargo streams
  • Neutral packaging: Outer packaging kept plain with no visible branding or product indication
  • Segregated storage: Cargo stored in restricted-access areas with CCTV coverage
  • Minimized dwell time: Priority transfers to reduce ground exposure and time in warehouses
  • Controlled transfer routes: Short, monitored apron paths between terminal and aircraft

Packaging & Labelling

  • Use strong, tamper-resistant packaging (double cartons, strapping, shrink-wrap)
  • Avoid markings that reveal contents or brand names
  • Secure outer layer with tamper-evident seals
  • Clearly mark Air Waybill with “VUN” (Vulnerable Cargo) for internal tracking — but keep external labelling discreet

Security Protocols

  • Access control: Only vetted staff allowed to handle vulnerable cargo
  • Checklists & custody logs: Every movement recorded and monitored
  • 24/7 monitoring: CCTV and live oversight in vulnerable cargo zones
  • Optional escorts: Extra supervision or bonded transfers available on request

Value-Added Options

  • Insurance coverage tailored to vulnerable shipments
  • Enhanced monitoring and exception alerts
  • Special “early delivery” release upon landing to avoid congestion
  • Partnership with trusted last-mile forwarders for secure ground handling
