Bahraini Import Requirements:

Construction Materials to Manama: A construction company in Manama sourced 380+ items from 5 Chinese cities (Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Wuhan), including steel structures, cement, and electrical fittings. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to King Fahd Causeway Port in a 40ft container, and coordinated road transport to their project site. The shipment arrived in 24 days, saving 32% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

Electronics to Muharraq: A retail chain in Muharraq needed smartphones from Shenzhen, home appliances from Foshan, and accessories from Yiwu. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Hamad Port in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their stores. The shipment cleared Bahrain Customs in 1.5 days, arriving 25 days after pickup—meeting their seasonal sales deadline.
