Larry Express DeliveryWhat machinery can you import from China?
China is the world's largest manufacturer of machinery and industrial equipment. We source directly from factories with CE certification and manufacturer warranty for all types of equipment.
- Construction machinery: mini-excavators, compactors, concrete mixers, scaffolding
- Agricultural equipment: tillers, grinders, oil presses, irrigation systems
- Industrial machines: presses, cutters, welders, conveyors
- Electric generators and generator sets
- Food processing equipment: mills, bottling, drying
- Professional tools and garage equipment
Machinery transport: specialized FCL container
Machinery requires specific transport: blocking in the container, moisture protection, and sometimes open-top or flat-rack containers for oversize loads. We manage all heavy logistics.
- Standard FCL 20ft/40ft container for machines up to 28 tons
- Open-Top container for tall machinery
- Flat-Rack for oversize equipment
- Professional blocking with wood and straps in container
- Anti-corrosion protection and waterproof cover for sea freight
- All-risk cargo insurance for valuable machines
Compliance and documents for imported machinery
Importing machinery requires specific documents: detailed commercial invoice, certificate of origin, technical manual, and sometimes CE certification. We prepare all customs documentation.
- Commercial invoice with machine technical details
- China certificate of origin for Malian customs
- Technical manual and electrical diagrams in French when available
- Electrical voltage 220V/380V verification for Cameroon compatibility
- Advice on OAPI standards and required approvals

Frequently asked questions
What container for importing machinery?
For most machinery, a standard FCL 20ft (28 tons max) or 40ft container is sufficient. For tall machinery, we use Open-Top containers. For oversize loads, Flat-Rack containers. We advise the best format for your machines.
Are Chinese machines compatible with Cameroon electricity?
We systematically verify voltage (220V/380V) and frequency (50Hz) for compatibility with the Malian grid. We select machines with CE certification and French manuals when available.
What is the cost of a machinery container China-Cameroon?
A 20ft FCL machinery container costs between $3500 and $5000 depending on weight and departure port. The rate includes loading, blocking, sea freight to Dakar, and land transit to Douala. Request a precise quote.
Do you offer warranty on imported machinery?
Yes, we select factories offering a 12-24 month manufacturer warranty. We document serial numbers and coordinate video technical support if needed.
Can you train my technicians on usage?
For large orders, we can organize video training with the Chinese manufacturer. For some complex machines, a technician can accompany delivery by quote.
