CNXtrans is a China-based shipping agent which specializes in shipping from China to South Africa
CNXtrans offers shipping from China to South Africa by either air or sea.
For smaller shipments, we can ship by air courier via DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT or Aramex. They will deliver all the way to your address in South Africa. For larger shipments, we can ship by air freight to any major air port in South Africa, or by sea freight freight to any major port in South Africa. You will then need to handle the customs clearance and collect the goods from the port or get your agent in South Africa to deliver the goods to your address in South Africa.
Air Shipping from China to South Africa
For smaller shipments or shipments that are urgent, we can ship from China to South Africa by air. Air courier shipments via DHL, FedEx, TNT, Aramex and local courier normally take about 3-5 days (with DHL normally being a little faster than the rest). For urgent shipments of a few hundred kg which you have no time to ship by sea, we can also ship by air inclusive of delivery to your doorstep in South Africa. Alternatively, we can also ship from China by air freight to any major airport in South Africa.
Sea Freight Shipping from China to South Africa
For larger shipments from China to South Africa, sea freight shipping would generally be the most cost effective way to ship. CNXtrans has access to sea freight shipping routes from China to any port in South Africa. Once the goods have arrived in South Africa, you can either collect the goods from the port or get your local agent to handle the delivery to your address in South Africa.
Sea freight shipping from China to South Africa generally takes about 20-25 days and is a great cost effective alternative for individuals and businesses who are seeking to minimize their shipping costs when importing from China to South Africa. Undoubtedly, sea shipping takes longer than air shipping to South Africa but if you plan your shipment in advance to allow for the longer shipping time, shipping by sea freight can significantly reduce your shipping costs when importing from China to South Africa.

Port of Durban

Ability to ship oversized pallets, cartons and packages from China to South Africa on a door to door basis

CNXtrans however has access to special shipping routes that can handle the shipping of oversized goods by both air and sea freight from China to South Africa. In the case of air shipping to South Africa, door to door shipping is available. In the case of sea freight shipping to South Africa, we can ship to any major port in South Africa.
