China → Cameroon · E-commerce
Shipping from China to Cameroon, done properly.
Whether you import a container of stock or a single carton from 1688, Alibaba or a factory in Guangdong, we take it from your supplier to your door — with paperwork that stands up.
How it works
Five steps, one coordinator
You deal with Transconnecta in Douala; we deal with everyone else.
- 01
Tell us what you’re buying
Send supplier details, product description, quantity and value on WhatsApp. We quote air and sea options side by side.
- 02
Pickup & consolidation in China
Our origin agents receive or collect your goods, check carton count and condition, and consolidate them for the next departure.
- 03
Line-haul to Douala
Air freight for urgent and light goods; sea freight for volume. You receive the transport document and the expected arrival.
- 04
Customs clearance
A licensed customs broker lodges the declaration. Duties and taxes are quoted transparently — there are no surprise ‘facilitation’ lines.
- 05
Delivery or pickup
We deliver to your address, to a relay point, or onward to another city or CEMAC country — with optional cash on delivery for your own customers.
Air or sea?
Choosing the right line
A rule of thumb for most importers.
| Air line | Sea line (LCL) | Full container (FCL) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Phones, accessories, fashion, samples, urgent restocks | Regular stock, household goods, bulky cartons | Large, regular volumes; machinery; building materials |
| Charged by | Kilogram (actual or volumetric) | Cubic metre (CBM) | Container (20’ / 40’) |
| Typical door-to-door time | About 1–2 weeks | About 7–9 weeks | About 6–8 weeks |
| Minimum | From a single carton | From around 0.5 CBM | One container |
Indicative market timings, not a commitment: actual transit depends on carrier schedules, season and customs. Your quotation states the timing that applies to your shipment.
For online sellers
Your shop sells. We deliver and collect.
Social commerce in Cameroon runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok — and stalls at delivery. We remove that bottleneck.

Keep fast-moving items with us in Douala so orders leave the same day.
Landmark addresses, handled
Riders call ahead, follow a WhatsApp pin and confirm every drop with a photo or signature.
Cash on delivery by mobile money
Customers pay in cash, MTN MoMo or Orange Money. You receive a reconciled statement and a scheduled payout.
Questions
China–Cameroon shipping questions
How long does shipping from China to Cameroon take?
As a guide, air cargo takes about one to two weeks door to door and sea cargo about seven to nine weeks, depending on carrier schedules, season and customs. We confirm the expected timing in your quotation.
How much does it cost to ship from China to Cameroon?
Air freight is charged per kilogram and sea freight per cubic metre or per container. Rates change with the season and fuel costs, so we quote each shipment and state clearly what is included: freight, clearance, duties and delivery.
Do I have to pay customs duty on goods from China?
Yes. Cameroon applies customs duty and VAT to imported goods, and there is no general duty-free threshold for commercial parcels. We estimate duties and taxes before you ship so the landed cost is clear.
Can you buy from Alibaba, 1688 or Temu for me?
We handle logistics rather than purchasing. You buy from your supplier and give them our origin agent’s receiving address; we take over from there. If you need a sourcing agent, we can introduce one.
Can you deliver my goods outside Douala?
Yes — to Yaoundé and other Cameroonian cities, and onward in transit to Chad, the Central African Republic, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Congo.
Which goods can’t be shipped?
Prohibited and restricted goods under Cameroonian and carrier rules — for example weapons, narcotics, counterfeit products and certain batteries, chemicals and medicines without the required permits. Ask us before you buy.
Tell us what needs to move.
Send the origin, the destination and what you are shipping. A person — not a bot — replies with a route, a price and a timeline.
