Strategic Coverage: Servicing factories in Guangzhou (cocoa processing machinery/textile looms), Shenzhen (agricultural electronics for cocoa farms), Foshan (steel/cement for infrastructure), Yiwu (retail textiles/souvenirs), Shanghai (heavy cocoa drying equipment), Ningbo (frozen food supplies), and Chengdu (tropical crop tools). Our team reaches suppliers in cocoa, textiles, and construction sectors on time, with vehicles matched to cargo type.
Flexible Cargo Solutions: 20'GP/40'HQ container trucks for bulk cargo (cocoa dryers, textile machinery), vans for LCL (Less than Container Load) batches (cocoa sensors, small sewing machines), and climate-controlled vehicles for fragile goods (precision cocoa quality testers, medical equipment)—critical for Ivory Coast’s cocoa, textiles, and healthcare sectors.
Transparent Tracking: Real-time photos/videos of loading, plus a detailed pickup report (quantity, packaging condition, timestamp) shared via email/WhatsApp. This visibility reduces uncertainty for long-haul Atlantic Ocean shipments to Ivory Coast’s coastal hubs.
Centralized Hub: All goods are delivered to our secure, 24/7 monitored warehouse, where unique IDs are assigned to each batch. A mobile-friendly online dashboard lets you check inventory anytime—ideal for coordinating pre-cocoa harvest (October–March) equipment restocks or pre-textile production (April–September) supply updates.
Quality Control & Efficiency: Our team verifies quantities against orders, inspects for damage (e.g., dented cocoa dryer parts, torn textile materials), and repacks LCL cargo into space-optimized, moisture-resistant pallets. This slashes freight costs by 25–35% compared to individual shipments—vital for Ivory Coast’s small-to-medium cocoa farms and textile workshops.
Flexible Storage: Short-term (1–4 weeks) storage for consolidation, or long-term options for off-season inventory (e.g., flood recovery materials, textile raw materials). We align timelines with Ivory Coast’s import schedules to avoid delays at Abidjan or San Pedro Port.
Air Freight:
Airport Focus: Direct/transit (via Lagos, Accra) service to Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (ABJ)—Ivory Coast’s main international airport, connecting to cocoa-growing regions (e.g., Bouaké, Daloa) via domestic transport. Transit time: 4–6 days from China’s major airports (Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong).
Ideal for Urgent Cargo: Perfect for high-value items (cocoa quality sensors, textile dyes), time-sensitive goods (cocoa farm fertilizers, medical vaccines), or small-batch textiles (luxury fabrics for local fashion brands).
Carrier Partnerships: Priority booking with Air Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopian Airlines, and Kenya Airways—ensuring space even during peak cocoa harvests or textile production seasons.
Sea Freight:
Port Coverage: Delivery to Abidjan Port (Ivory Coast’s primary commercial port, Gulf of Guinea)—handling 80% of bulk imports, and San Pedro Port (western Ivory Coast’s hub for cocoa exports/imports). Transit time: 28–38 days from China’s export ports (Guangzhou Nansha, Shanghai, Ningbo).
Service Terms:
EXW to Ivory Coast Port: We manage factory pickup, consolidation, China customs clearance, and ocean shipping.
FOB: We handle pickup and transport to China’s ports + customs clearance; you take ownership at vessel loading.
CIF: All costs (EXW to Abidjan/San Pedro Port) covered, including sea freight and basic cargo insurance.
Ideal for Bulk Cargo: Cocoa processing machinery (dryers, grinders), textile equipment (sewing machines, weaving looms), construction materials (steel beams, cement), and large-scale food supplies (rice, wheat) for local markets.
Multi-Currency Support: Accepts XOF, USD, EUR, CNY, and GBP via partnerships with XTransfer and Société Générale de Banque en Côte d’Ivoire (SGBCI). Transfer funds from your Ivorian bank (XOF-denominated) or international accounts; we convert at transparent rates with no hidden fees.
Fast RMB Disbursement: We pay your Chinese suppliers in RMB within 1–3 business days, eliminating delays from foreign exchange regulations. This ensures timely production of time-sensitive goods (e.g., pre-cocoa-harvest machinery, pre-textile-season equipment).
Risk Mitigation: Lock in exchange rates at payment initiation to avoid fluctuations that impact Ivory Coast’s cocoa farms, textile factories, and small businesses. Detailed transaction records are provided for compliance with the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) guidelines.
End-to-End Compliance: Accurate HS code classification (aligned with Ivory Coast’s import rules), preparation of commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and sanitary/phytosanitary certificates (for cocoa-related goods, food supplies).
Pre-Shipment Inspections: Coordinate checks for sensitive goods (e.g., cocoa processing machinery, medical devices) to meet China’s export regulations. We resolve missing documents (e.g., supplier certifications for cocoa equipment safety) on your behalf.
Fast Clearance: Leverage relationships with China customs authorities to expedite processing—critical for meeting Ivory Coast’s tight cocoa harvest deadlines or textile production schedules.
All-Risk Protection: Covers loss, damage, or theft from factory pickup to delivery at Abidjan/San Pedro Port or ABJ Airport. Includes West Africa-specific risks (floods, Atlantic storms, port congestion) and transit mishandling (e.g., damaged machinery, stained textiles).
Tailored Coverage: Additional protection for high-value items (cocoa processing machinery, textile equipment) or perishables (frozen food, cocoa seeds). We manage the entire claims process—from filing to settlement—so you focus on your business.
Seamless Transport: Door-to-door trucking from mainland China factories to Hong Kong International Port (sea freight) or Hong Kong International Airport (air freight).
Hong Kong Customs Support: Full clearance management, including permits for regulated goods (e.g., high-tech cocoa sensors). We leverage Hong Kong’s global hub status to connect to trans-Atlantic shipments bound for Ivory Coast—avoiding bottlenecks.
Canton Fair Escort Service: Bilingual (English, French, Chinese) staff accompany you to the Canton Fair. Services include supplier communication, price negotiation (e.g., bulk discounts for cocoa machinery or textile equipment), product sample inspection (e.g., textile quality, machinery functionality), and factory visit scheduling. This bridges language gaps (critical for French-speaking buyers) and saves time.
Factory Audit & Inspection Service: Our team arranges transportation and bilingual escorts for factory audits in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, and other hubs. Services include verifying supplier capabilities (e.g., ability to produce flood-resistant construction materials), checking production quality (e.g., durable cocoa dryer parts), and confirming compliance with Ivory Coast’s standards (e.g., food-grade packaging for cocoa exports). Detailed audit reports are provided post-visit.
West Africa & French-Speaking Expertise: We understand Ivory Coast’s unique challenges—Abidjan/San Pedro Port operations, ABJ Airport logistics, and cocoa/textile industry needs, plus French-language support (aligned with Ivory Coast’s official language) for seamless communication.
Cost Savings: Consolidation, direct carrier partnerships, and efficient pickup cut logistics costs by 25–35%.
Reliability: 97% on-time delivery rate (even during flood seasons), real-time tracking via Maersk/DHL platforms, and 24/7 multilingual support (English, French, Chinese).
Industry Focus: Our services are tailored to Ivory Coast’s core sectors—from cocoa processing equipment sourcing to textile supply chain management.
