Reliable Shipping from China to Africa

Transit times vary by destination. China to Kenya (Mombasa) typically takes 25–35 days. China to Nigeria (Lagos) is 30–45 days. China to South Africa (Durban) is 35–44 days. China to Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) is 25–40 days. China to Angola (Luanda) is 30–42 days. Actual transit depends on the origin port in China, shipping line, route and any transshipment calls.

FCL (40ft) shipping from China to Africa starts from approximately $2,000 depending on the destination, shipping line and market conditions. 20ft containers are available on request for smaller loads. LCL (shared container) is available to selected destinations: Luanda (Angola), Kampala (Uganda), Lusaka (Zambia), Lubumbashi and Kinshasa (DR Congo), and Kigali (Rwanda). Rates fluctuate with fuel costs, seasonal demand and global market conditions — contact us for a current quote.

FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire 40ft or 20ft container exclusively for your cargo — best when your shipment exceeds 15 CBM. Our priority service is FCL 40ft. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share a container and you pay only for the space you use.

Sea freight FCL is the most cost-effective option for bulky, heavy or large-volume cargo from China to Africa. For very heavy or oversized items like construction equipment or generators, we use flat-rack or open-top containers and breakbulk services.
