Group items by type to optimize container space (for sea freight) or cargo volume (for air freight), reducing shipping costs for the transit across the Indian Ocean or via air routes.
Package fragile goods (e.g., electronics, luxury hotel supplies) with premium, water-resistant and shock-resistant materials and secure heavy items (e.g., construction equipment, marine machinery) to withstand transport conditions, whether by sea or air.
Male Commercial Harbour: The country’s main maritime hub, handling almost all of Maldives’s imports, with transit times averaging 25–30 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen. It serves Male, Hulhumale, and other major atolls via inter-island transport, supporting sectors like tourism, construction, and fisheries.
EXW Guangzhou: You take control from our warehouse—we handle pickup from suppliers, inspect goods, and prepare them for collection.
FOB Guangzhou: We deliver goods to Guangzhou port or airport, handle export clearance, and load onto the vessel or aircraft—you manage freight, insurance, and onward transport to Maldives.
CIF Maldives: We cover costs, insurance, and freight to Male Commercial Harbour or Velana International Airport—you handle import clearance and final delivery to local destinations (e.g., Male, Hulhumale, resort islands).
Chinese Export Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, export declaration, and Certificate of Origin (to support tariff calculations under South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) agreements).
Maldivian Import Requirements:
Import License issued by the Ministry of Economic Development (for regulated goods).
Product-specific certifications (e.g., MSB marks for electrical appliances, Ministry of Health approvals for pharmaceuticals, marine safety certifications for boats and equipment).
English-language documentation (invoices, packing lists) with detailed product descriptions to meet customs standards.
Duty payment (we provide upfront estimates, with rates varying by product category—many goods qualify for reduced tariffs under SAFTA rules, and essential items may be exempt).
Resort Supplies to Hulhumale: A luxury resort chain in Hulhumale sourced 400+ items from 6 Chinese cities (Foshan, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Yiwu, Ningbo, Guangzhou), including hotel furniture, electronics, and premium textiles. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to Male Commercial Harbour in a 40ft container, and coordinated inter-island transport to the resort. The shipment arrived in 28 days, saving 35% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.
Construction Materials to Male: A construction firm in Male needed steel structures from Shanghai, cement from Shandong, and roofing materials from Foshan for a waterfront development project. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Male Commercial Harbour in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to the construction site. The shipment cleared Maldives Customs in 1.5 days, arriving 30 days after pickup—meeting the project’s phase deadline.
Urgent Medical Supplies to a Remote Atoll: A healthcare organization required medical kits from Yiwu and diagnostic equipment from Shenzhen for clinics in a remote atoll. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Velana International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated seaplane delivery to the atoll. The shipment arrived door-to-door in 8 days—critical for addressing healthcare gaps.
Consolidation Expertise: Our Guangzhou warehouse optimizes loading for both sea and air freight, minimizing costs for multi-supplier orders—vital for Maldives’s tourism-driven economy.
SAFTA Trade Knowledge: Deep understanding of South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) regulations, ensuring clients maximize tariff savings and streamline distribution to islands.
