Agricultural Machinery to Dodoma: A farming cooperative in Dodoma sourced 300+ items from 5 Chinese cities (Ningbo, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha, Yiwu), including tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via FOB terms in a 40ft container to Port of Dar es Salaam, and coordinated overland transport to Dodoma. The shipment arrived in 30 days, saving 33% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

The shipment cleared TRA in 2 days, arriving 33 days after pickup—meeting the project’s phase deadline.
