At Top China Forwarder, we specialize in connecting China with Tuvalu—one of the world’s smallest island nations. Due to limited direct vessel service and remote geography, efficient coordination is key. From supplier pickup across China to customs clearance and door-to-door delivery in Funafuti or other islets, we manage every step. Whether you select sea freight, air freight, or door-to-door service, we ensure your goods reach Tuvalu safely, on time, and cost-effectively.
Given the remote location, organizing sea freight to Tuvalu often requires transshipment via hubs like Suva (Fiji) or Samoa. We offer both FCL and LCL services, handling export documentation, consolidation, and port coordination to deliver your cargo reliably to Funafuti port.
Air routes to Tuvalu are extremely limited but vital for urgent shipments. We arrange connections through key Pacific hubs (e.g. Suva, Fiji or Samoa), manage export/import documentation, and ensure last-leg handling to Funafuti. This is ideal for spare parts, medical supplies, or other time-sensitive cargo.
Many shippers worry about the final leg in Tuvalu due to scarce infrastructure. Our door-to-door service bridges that gap: we arrange pickup in China, manage freight, customs clearance, and final delivery to your address in Tuvalu. No need to deal with multiple agents.
Full Container Load is the best choice when your shipment volume supports it. It gives you container exclusivity, better protection from handling, and more efficient transit. Even with transshipment, FCL minimizes risks during long-distance ocean legs.
For smaller shipments, LCL is ideal. We consolidate your cargo in China, palletize and document it properly, and route it via Pacific hubs. While transit times may be longer, LCL offers cost savings and flexibility for smaller businesses.
We offer reliable pickup across China matched to factory readiness.
Safe, free staging and consolidation prior to export.
Full coverage to protect your shipment over the long Pacific route.
Knowledge of both Chinese and Tuvalu import rules to ensure smooth clearance.
