  • Customs Clearance: Your forwarder will assist with customs procedures, ensuring compliance with both Chinese and Congolese regulations.
  • Coordinate Delivery: Arrange for the final delivery of your goods once they arrive at the port in Congo.
  • Urgent Shipments: Air freight is ideal for goods that need to be delivered quickly.
  • High-Value Items: It is suitable for valuable or sensitive goods that require careful handling.
  • Specific Handling Requirements: Goods needing special handling, such as temperature control, are better managed by air transport.
  • Cost Considerations: Although more expensive than sea freight, air freight is suitable for shipments where the higher cost is justified by the need for speed and reliability.
  • Import Duties: Duties vary based on the type and value of goods, ranging from 5% to 30% of the goods' value.
  • Value Added Tax (VAT): Typically charged at a standard rate on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value plus duty.

  • Consultation: It is advisable to consult with customs experts or a freight forwarder to understand the exact duties and taxes applicable to your shipment.

  • Cost Considerations: LCL can be more economical for small quantities as you only pay for the space used. FCL may offer better rates per unit for larger shipments.
  • Security and Handling: FCL provides more security as your goods are the only ones in the container, reducing the risk of damage or loss. LCL shipments are consolidated with other goods, which might increase handling risks.
  • Urgency and Timing: LCL shipments might take longer due to the consolidation process, while FCL offers direct transit and can be faster.
