1. FCL or LCL
FCL works for large volumes. LCL lets you share container space when your shipment volume is smaller.
2. Sea route
Goods leave China, often arrive through Dakar or another African port, then continue by road where needed.
3. Getting a reliable rate
Rates depend on volume, weight, product, season and port. A confirmed quote is always required.
FAQ
Should I start with FCL or LCL?
LCL is often better for testing moderate volume before filling a full container.
