How to join Farmasi from Zambia

Farmasi has no local operation in Zambia. You enroll on the United States site and orders ship from the US warehouse.

This works differently from a market with its own Farmasi office. Because Farmasi does not operate locally in Zambia, you enroll on the United States site, picking your country from the dropdown, and orders ship from the US warehouse. Signing up is the easy part. What actually decides whether the business works for you is what happens when the parcel reaches customs in Zambia — so that is what this page covers, with the real numbers.

The sign-up, step by step

1

Get a sponsor link

The system needs to know whose team you are joining. Enroll through the link on this page and you join mine, and I walk you through it from day one.
2

Go to the United States site

Do not go looking for a Farmasi Zambia website — there isn't one. Enrollment happens on farmasius.com with my sponsor code already applied.
3

Pick "Zambia (From US)" in the dropdown

This is the step people skip, and it is the one that matters. In the "Register for" selector at the top of the form, find your option and select it. Leave it on the United States and the form will ask you for details you do not have.
4

Fill in your details and address

Name, email, phone and the address in Zambia where you want your order delivered. Check what the form asks for before you pay — this is where most people get stuck.
5

Pay and wait for your order

It is a $19.99 one-time enrollment fee, with the option to add a product kit. Once confirmed you get your back-office credentials and your own online store, and the order ships from the United States.

Customs and taxes when your order lands in Zambia

Zambia has the most workable small-parcel regime in this group. Single postal shipments below USD 50, including freight and insurance, come in duty-free. There is also relief for non-alcoholic postal consignments under USD 1,000 sent to a private person for personal, non-commercial use — read that condition carefully, because it does not stretch to stock you intend to resell. Above that, cosmetics carry customs duty, an excise duty of 20% and VAT at 16%. No clearing agent is needed below USD 2,000 CIF.

Paying in US dollars from Zambia

The Bank of Zambia Currency Directives 2025 do not stop you paying a US website. All domestic transactions must settle in kwacha, with real penalties attached, but international transactions are expressly exempt. The practical consequence is worth internalising: you may buy in dollars, but you must price and sell in kwacha inside Zambia.

Product rules and registration

ZCSA runs border inspection against compulsory standards; confirm whether cosmetics fall inside that list before ordering at volume.

If you start selling regularly

Register with the ZRA once you sell regularly, and build the 20% cosmetics excise into your pricing rather than discovering it at the counter.

Frequently asked questions from Zambia

Why do I enroll on the United States site?

Because Farmasi has no local operation in Zambia. The company lists these countries in the dropdown of the US form so you can enroll and receive product from its warehouse.

Will the product actually reach Zambia?

Yes, it ships from the United States warehouse to your address. What differs from a local market is the transit time and, above all, the import taxes explained above.

What currency do I pay in?

US dollars. Your bank applies the conversion and, depending on the country, an extra charge or levy.

Do I need a US address?

That depends on what the form asks once you select your country. Check before you pay — plenty of people enroll without changing the dropdown and then find themselves asked for US details.

What if Farmasi opens an office in Zambia?

Farmasi has been opening new markets steadily. If it opens in Zambia, ask entrepreneur support how that affects your account rather than assuming the migration is automatic.

Can I legally resell what I import?

Importing for personal use and reselling are different things in law. Read the product rules and the section on going official — that is where the specifics for Zambia are.
