Angolan Import Requirements:

Oilfield Equipment to Luanda: An energy company in Luanda sourced 420+ items from 6 Chinese cities (Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Wuhan), including drilling tools, pumps, and safety gear. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via CIF terms to Luanda Port in a 40ft container, and coordinated road transport to their offshore facilities. The shipment arrived in 35 days, saving 34% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

Construction Materials to Benguela: A building firm in Benguela needed steel structures from Tianjin, cement from Shandong, and roofing sheets from Foshan for a housing project. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Luanda Port in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to Benguela. The shipment cleared Angola Customs in 2 days, arriving 36 days after pickup—meeting the project’s foundation deadline.

Urgent Medical Supplies to Huambo: A healthcare NGO required vaccines from Beijing and medical kits from Shenzhen for rural clinics in Huambo. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated overland delivery to Huambo. The shipment arrived door-to-door in 10 days—critical for their immunization campaign.

Consolidation Expertise: Our Guangzhou warehouse optimizes loading for both sea and air freight, minimizing costs for multi-supplier orders—vital for Angola’s oil & gas and construction sectors.

SADC Trade Knowledge: Deep understanding of Southern African Development Community (SADC) regulations, ensuring clients maximize tariff savings and streamline national distribution.
