Albanian Import Requirements:

Construction Materials to Tirana: A building company in Tirana sourced 400+ items from 6 Chinese cities (Guangzhou, Foshan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Wuhan, Tianjin), including steel bars, cement, electrical fixtures, and plumbing supplies. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Durrës in a 40ft container, and coordinated road transport to their construction sites.

We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Shengjin in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their facilities. The shipment cleared Albanian Customs in 1.5 days, arriving 32 days after pickup—meeting their planting season deadline.

Electronics to Vlorë: A retail chain required smartphones from Shenzhen, TVs from Guangzhou, and home appliances from Chongqing for their Vlorë stores. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Tirana International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated road transport to their outlets.
