Lusaka: Zambia’s Enterprise IT Hub

Lusaka is Zambia’s capital and primary commercial, financial, and IT hub, home to the country’s leading data centre operators. INFRATEL Corporation Zambia operates the INFRATEL Primary Data Centre, a 1.25 MW facility offering colocation and IaaS. Paratus Zambia runs a Tier III-designed, PCI DSS and ISO-certified data centre in the city, while Liquid Intelligent Technologies operates a Lusaka data centre under an MoU with the Zambian government for new commercialised data centre and fibre projects. The market backdrop is strong: Zambia’s telecom market is estimated at USD 637.86 million in 2026, projected to reach USD 866.01 million by 2031, with the enterprise segment growing at a 6.31% CAGR — confirming sustained demand for server and infrastructure refresh.

Import & Compliance

Zambia’s ICT sector is regulated by the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA), established under the Information and Communication Technologies Act No. 15 of 2009. ZICTA mandates Type Approval certification for all Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (RTTE) before import, sale, or use, and all customs declarations for electronic communication equipment must carry a ZICTA Type Approval Certificate. Standard server hardware (non-radio, non-wireless) typically falls outside the RTTE mandate; however, networking gear with wireless capability — such as Wi-Fi NICs or wireless-enabled management cards — requires prior ZICTA approval. ZICTA accepts internationally recognised lab reports and requires no in-country testing; buyers should confirm current certification validity periods and any updated requirements with a licensed customs broker before each shipment. Customs is administered by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) on a CIF valuation basis. Import duty on server hardware and computer parts is 0% — computer parts are explicitly listed as duty-free under ZRA tariff schedules — with 16% VAT applied on imports. For zero-duty server hardware from the US or EU, the effective landed-cost addition is 16% VAT on CIF value. On sanctions and export controls: Zambia carries no active OFAC programme and is not a restricted destination under US export controls for standard commercial server hardware; buyers should confirm current sanctions, export-control eligibility, and exact duties and taxes with a licensed customs broker before each shipment. ICD screens all end-parties against the US Consolidated Screening List per standard EAR compliance.

Logistics to Lusaka

Both DHL (Provident House, Cairo Road, Lusaka) and Aramex (Plot 6392 Dundudza Chididza Road, Longacres, Lusaka) maintain verified offices in Lusaka. Air cargo enters via Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (KKIA), while sea freight transits the Port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania — the primary sea-freight corridor for landlocked Zambia’s imports — with Durban and Walvis Bay as secondary corridors and an approximate two-week port-to-Lusaka transit.

Who We Serve

ICD supports Zambia’s fastest-growing enterprise buyers. Mining companies — Zambia is Africa’s second-largest copper producer, with output reaching 820,670 metric tons in 2024 — require ruggedised servers, edge compute, and IoT infrastructure for operational technology networks and real-time surveillance. The banking and financial services sector is driving core-banking refresh and ERP modernisation amid active fintech expansion. Government digitisation under the National Digital Transformation Strategy 2023–2027 and Smart Zambia programme fuels public-sector ICT procurement, while MTN and Airtel’s 5G rollout and ZICTA’s ongoing 5G spectrum licensing expand telco infrastructure. Overall, Zambia’s information and communication activities sector grew 17.4% in 2024 against a backdrop of 4.0% GDP growth, with mobile subscriptions reaching 23.2 million — a digital economy that drives continuous enterprise server and infrastructure investment.
