from China to Africa
We are not just a freight forwarder — we are your complete buying partner in China. One team handles sourcing, payments, inspection, shipping, and delivery.
Sourcing & Procurement
Direct factory access in Yiwu — the world's largest wholesale market. We negotiate prices, manage MOQs, and track every order on your behalf.
Quality Inspection
Before anything leaves China, our team verifies quantity, quality, and specifications. You receive photos and videos — and you approve before we ship.
Shipping & Logistics
Sea (LCL & FCL) and air freight to Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and all African countries. We handle export clearance in China and import clearance at your port.
Supplier Payments
Secure cross-border transfers with full transparency. We accept African mobile money and pay Chinese suppliers directly — competitive forex, no hidden fees.
Warehouse & Consolidation
Send orders from multiple suppliers to our Yiwu warehouse. We consolidate everything into one container, slashing your per-unit shipping cost significantly.
