How to avoid scams when paying suppliers
Three red flags every African importer should know: 1) Supplier refuses video call, 2) Price is 40%+ below market, 3) Asks for Western Union to personal account. Always use escrow or a trusted agent.

Customs fees experience at Douala port
Just cleared a 12 CBM LCL shipment at Douala port. Total customs + handling + local transport came to ~$1,850. Breakdown attached. Key tip: have your HS codes correct and use a local customs broker.

Quality inspection tips before shipping
Never skip pre-shipment inspection. Here is my 10-point checklist: packaging, labeling, quantity, color accuracy, functionality test, weight check, carton markings, accessories included, manual/language, and random sampling.

Cheapest way to ship textiles from Guangzhou
For textiles under 100kg, air freight via consolidated cargo is best at $8.50/kg. For 200kg+, sea LCL from Guangzhou to Dakar then truck is $95/CBM. I saved 35% switching to LCL last month.
