Syrian Import Requirements:

Humanitarian Aid to Damascus: A relief organization sourced 400+ items from 6 Chinese cities (Guangzhou, Shanghai, Yiwu, Beijing, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou), including tents, blankets, and medical kits. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Latakia in a 40ft container, and coordinated road transport to Damascus. The shipment arrived in 33 days, saving 35% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

Agricultural Supplies to Latakia: A farming cooperative in Latakia needed irrigation systems from Zhejiang, fertilizers from Shandong, and seed drills from Ningbo. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Latakia in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their farms. The shipment cleared Syrian Customs in 2.5 days, arriving 32 days after pickup—meeting the planting season deadline.

Urgent Medical Equipment to Homs: A healthcare facility required ventilators from Shenzhen and surgical tools from Beijing for hospitals in Homs. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Damascus International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated overland delivery to Homs. The shipment arrived door-to-door in 9 days—critical for their emergency response.
