Port of Durban (South Africa): The primary gateway, with goods transported by road to Lesotho after arrival, totaling transit times of 32–37 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen. It serves Maseru, Berea, and northern Lesotho via efficient cross-border routes.

English-language documentation (invoices, packing lists) with detailed product descriptions to meet LRA standards.

Textile Machinery to Maseru: A garment factory in Maseru sourced 340+ items from 5 Chinese cities (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu), including sewing machines, fabric cutters, and packaging equipment. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Durban in a 40ft container, and coordinated road transport to Maseru. The shipment arrived in 35 days, saving 31% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

The shipment cleared Lesotho Customs in 2 days, arriving 37 days after pickup—meeting the planting season deadline.

We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Moshoeshoe I International Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated local delivery.
