• Air Freight Forwarding: We partner with top airlines specializing in African routes (Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Air China, Air France) to offer stable routes from major Chinese airports (Shanghai Pudong, Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Bao’an, Beijing Capital) to Côte D'ivoire’s primary hub—Port Bouet International Airport (ABJ) in Abidjan (serving cities like Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, and Daloa via local delivery).

• Express Delivery: As an authorized agent for DHL, UPS, and FedEx, we provide door-to-door express service—ideal for urgent shipments to Ivory Coast (e.g., business samples, medical supplies, time-sensitive electronics).

• Door-to-Door Air Transport: End-to-end service that handles every step: pickup from your Chinese supplier’s warehouse, export customs clearance in China, air transport to Abidjan, and final delivery to your address in Côte D'ivoire (including coordination with local logistics partners for inland transport).

• Minimum Weight: 0.5kg (perfect for small-batch orders, personal items, or sample shipments—e.g., textile samples, phone accessories).

• Branded Goods: We offer specialized solutions for branded products (e.g., consumer electronics, apparel, cosmetics) with compliant documentation (e.g., brand authorization letters, certificate of origin) to avoid delays at Ivory Coast customs.

• Wide Product Scope: We ship all products from Chinese suppliers—including Alibaba, Made-in-China, Guangzhou Wholesale Market, and Chinese factories. See the full product list below.

Note: Final charges are always based on the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight—this is an industry standard to cover aircraft space costs.

1. Cargo Details: Actual/dimensional weight, total volume, and type (e.g., regular goods like textiles vs. sensitive items like lithium batteries, liquids, or fragile machinery).

2. Route & Airlines: Direct flights (faster, e.g., Air France to Abidjan—slightly higher cost) vs. transit flights (via African hubs like Addis Ababa or Nairobi—more economical for large cargo).

3. Trade Term: EXW (lower upfront cost, as you manage pickup/export clearance) vs. DPU (all-inclusive service, higher cost but no logistics hassle).

4. Seasonality: Peak periods (e.g., Ivory Coast’s cocoa harvest season, Christmas, or China’s Canton Fair) may increase prices due to limited aircraft cargo space.

• Express Delivery (DHL/UPS/FedEx): 5–7 working days (door-to-door, including customs clearance; ideal for urgent shipments like medical supplies or small electronics).

• Direct Air Freight: 7–10 working days (from Chinese airport to Port Bouet International Airport (ABJ); excludes supplier pickup and local Ivory Coast delivery).
