How China Cargo to Nairobi Works
- Buy your goods in China – Source products from Alibaba, 1688, Taobao, or suppliers and wholesale markets in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Yiwu, and Shanghai.
- Send the goods to a China warehouse – Suppliers can deliver your orders to a warehouse for receiving, checking, and preparing the cargo for export.
- Consolidate your packages – Orders from multiple suppliers can be combined into one shipment where appropriate.
- Choose air or sea freight – Air freight is suitable for smaller or urgent cargo, while sea freight is generally better for larger, heavier, or bulky shipments.
- Prepare shipping documents – Depending on the cargo, invoices, packing details, and other export and shipping documents may be required.
- Ship to Kenya – The cargo is transported from China to Kenya and processed through the required import procedures.
