Step-by-Step Guide: Air Freight from China to Antigua and Barbuda

1. Sourcing from Chinese Factories or Wholesale Markets

  • Finding Suppliers:

    • Factories: Connect with verified manufacturers via platforms like Alibaba, Made-in-China, or attend the Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair)—a key source for electronics, textiles, furniture, and consumer goods, which are popular imports to Antigua and Barbuda.

    • Wholesale Markets: Explore Guangzhou’s top markets, such as Baiyun World Leather Center (leather goods), Guangzhou International Toy Market (toys), and Yiwu Small Commodity Market (daily necessities), ideal for small to medium-sized orders.

  • Negotiating Deals: Confirm product specifications, pricing, and delivery terms. Our team can assist in verifying supplier credentials to ensure reliability.

  • Payment Flexibility: We accept multiple currencies via XTransfer and China Merchants Bank, including USD, Euro, CNY, GBP, and more, to simplify transactions with Chinese suppliers.
