How it works

You do three things. We handle the rest, and tell you at every stage.

  1. 1

    Request your shipping mark

    We issue it, and it is what ties your goods to your account. Ask for it before your supplier despatches: cargo that arrives without one cannot be matched to an account, and that is the most common cause of delay.

  2. 2

    Send us the supplier details

    The supplier’s contact person and pick-up address, so our China team can follow up on collection, quantities and readiness dates directly.

  3. 3

    Send a packing list or invoice

    A description of the goods, the number of packages and their approximate weight. This is what the export and import documentation is built from.

At every stage, your contact sends you a milestone update on WhatsApp.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

One corridor: China to Tanzania. Cargo is accepted at our Foshan warehouse from suppliers located across China’s manufacturing and wholesale markets, discharged and cleared at the Port of Dar es Salaam, delivered throughout the city, and forwarded to other regions of the Tanzanian mainland and to Zanzibar on request.

Sea freight suits bulk, heavy or large-volume cargo where cost matters more than speed. Air freight suits light, urgent or high-value cargo where waiting is costly. Tell us what you are buying, how much of it there is and when you need it, and we will advise and quote both ways before anything is booked.

LCL groups your goods with other consignments and charges by the space or weight they occupy, which makes small and medium imports affordable. FCL gives you a dedicated 20ft or 40ft container stuffed with your cargo only, sealed at origin and opened at destination.

It is the reference we issue that identifies your goods. Request it before your supplier despatches, so your cargo is recorded under your account when it reaches our Foshan warehouse. Goods arriving without a mark cannot be matched to an account, which is the most common cause of delay at receiving.

Customs entries in Tanzania are lodged through licensed clearing and forwarding agents. We prepare and check the import documentation, coordinate the lodgement and follow the entry through to release. The duty assessment is shared with you before payment.
