Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for shipping from China to Chad, although the country has no direct seaport. Cargo departs from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, or Qingdao and is shipped to regional gateways such as Douala Port (Cameroon) or Port of Pointe-Noire (Republic of Congo). From there, cargo is transported inland by road or rail to Chad. Sea freight is suitable for heavy machinery, construction materials, vehicles, and bulk cargo. Logistics Groups coordinates ocean transport, port handling, and cross-border inland delivery.
Air freight provides a faster solution for urgent or high-value shipments, arriving at N’Djamena International Airport. Transit times typically range from 3 to 7 days depending on routing and airline schedules. Air freight is ideal for electronics, medical supplies, spare parts, and time-critical project cargo. Logistics Groups handles air cargo booking, customs procedures, and final delivery within Chad.
