What's it like crossing the border from Tanzania to Zambia at Tundumu in your own vehicle? What papers, fees, etc. are necessary (for both people and vehicle)? How long could it take (i.e. more than half a day?)? Any hassles to be expected?

The Nakonde Border Post at Tunduma has a reputation of being rife with problems, as widely reported in official reports, news coverage, and in-person experiences:
⇨ South Africa Trade Hub Nakonde Border Operations Assessment
⇨ Zambia Daily Mail: Zambia, Tanzania set to address border problems
⇨ Border Problems: Tunduma/Nakonde on the Tanzania/Zambia border is one of the worst crossings one could possibly experience
