Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship general merchandise?
Pricing depends on volume, weight, origin and destination. Request a quote with your details and we'll respond with a clear all-in price within one business day.
How long does delivery take?
Ocean freight to West Africa typically takes 22–35 days. Air freight is 5–10 days. We'll confirm exact transit time when you book based on your route and sailing schedules.
Do you handle customs clearance at the destination?
Yes. We work with vetted clearing agents at every major African port — they handle customs, port fees and final delivery so your goods arrive at your door.

Carriers carry standard cargo liability. We strongly recommend all-risk marine or air cargo insurance for the full declared value, which we arrange on request.
