Port of Bissau: The country’s main maritime hub, located on the Geba River estuary, handling over 90% of Guinea-Bissau’s imports, with transit times averaging 32–37 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen. It serves Bissau, Bafatá, and other major towns via river and road networks, supporting sectors like agriculture, fishing, and construction.

Portuguese or French-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 ECOWAS rules, and essential items may be exempt).
Fishing Equipment to Bissau: A fishing cooperative in Bissau sourced 300+ items from 5 Chinese cities (Ningbo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Yiwu), including fishing nets, boat engines, and refrigeration units. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Bissau in a 40ft container, and coordinated delivery to their fishing village. The shipment arrived in 35 days, saving 31% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.
Agricultural Machinery to Bafatá: A farming community in Bafatá needed tractors from Tianjin, irrigation systems from Shandong, and rice processing tools from Wuhan. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Bissau in an LCL container, and arranged road transport to Bafatá. The shipment cleared Guinea-Bissau Customs in 2 days, arriving 36 days after pickup—meeting the planting season deadline.
Urgent Medical Supplies to Gabú: A humanitarian organization required medical kits from Yiwu and diagnostic equipment from Shenzhen for rural clinics in Gabú. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Osvaldo Vieira International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated local delivery.
