What are some good South African freight forwarding companies?
The current development of e-commerce in Africa is relatively fast, and South Africa is one of the main regions, so the demand for domestic transportation to South Africa is also increasing. There are also many people who are not sure how to send Chinese express delivery to South Africa, how many days it will take to arrive, and how much it will cost. Below, Little Fire Needle will answer these questions for everyone.
How can China send things to South Africa and what are the South African express lines available?
If the shipment is to South Africa, you can use the four major international express and rocket logistics South African special lines.
There are two types of South African dedicated logistics: air freight and sea freight. For bulk cargo, you can choose the South African Maritime Double Clearing dedicated line, which is also the cheapest, but the overall time frame is about 75 days; The cost of air freight is also cheaper than international express delivery, with a delivery time of about 10-12 days and relatively fast.
International express delivery services such as TNT, DHL, FEDEX, and EMS can all be sent to South Africa. Choosing DHL or TNT for small packages will result in better labeling and cost effectiveness. However, due to the poor infrastructure in South Africa, delivery may not be as timely as it usually takes around 7 days to complete. Of course, these express deliveries are not tax inclusive.
How much is the South African special line
In terms of freight, the costs incurred vary depending on factors such as the weight of the goods, shipping method, and company.
The South African dedicated air freight of less than 21KG is calculated based on the first weight of 0.5kg and the continued weight of 0.5kg; The first weight is about 300, and the remaining weight is about 70. The volume weight is 6000, and the actual weight and volume are whichever is larger. If it is above 21KG, it is about 120 yuan/KG, and the aging time can reach 10-15 days; Sea freight is calculated by square meter, with a real weight of 1:350KG and a volume of 1:167KG. If the cargo is less than one party, it will be collected by one party. If the cargo is disposed of, it will be charged in cubic meters based on length * width * height.
It is crucial for everyone to choose a suitable transportation method based on their own needs and goods situation, in order to ensure transportation efficiency and save logistics costs.
If the declared value of imported goods is greater than 200USD, tariffs will be generated. The South African tariff rate is between 0% -45%, so it is relatively less likely to be taxed. Whether the goods will incur tariffs is determined based on your own specific goods, as well as the quantity and value of the goods, as well as South Africa's customs policies.
Of course, you can also find a reliable freight forwarding company to use the double clearance and tax inclusive line, which can better complete customs clearance without paying customs duties. It is recommended that when choosing an international dedicated line company, you can consider the qualifications of the freight forwarding company, customs clearance strength, costs, etc. According to your own needs, of course, you should also prepare corresponding customs clearance materials, in order to ensure more secure and efficient customs clearance of goods.
