Sea freight LCL takes 30–50 calendar days, and FCL takes 28–45 days. Rail freight (where available) takes 18–28 days. All times include customs clearance under our DDP service.
What is DDP shipping to Namibia?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means you pay one all-inclusive price — freight, customs duties, import taxes, and last-mile delivery to your door in Namibia. There are no surprise charges at destination. Our DDP service handles all paperwork and customs clearance on your behalf.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG from China to Namibia?
For 100 KG to Namibia, air freight is generally more cost-effective when you factor in the full delivery cycle. While sea freight has a lower per-KG rate, the 30–45 day transit time means higher inventory holding costs. Air freight at 100 KG typically takes 5–10 days and qualifies for volume discounts above 100 KG.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Namibia?
For customs clearance in Namibia, you typically need: (1) Commercial Invoice showing buyer, seller, HS codes, and declared value; (2) Packing List with dimensions and weights; (3) Bill of Lading or Airway Bill; (4) Certificate of Origin (may qualify for preferential duty rates); (5) Any product-specific certifications. Under our DDP service, we handle all customs documentation.
How do I pay for shipping from China to Namibia?
Freight charges are quoted and invoiced in USD. Payment is typically required before shipment departure. We accept bank transfer (T/T), PayPal, and other methods on a case-by-case basis. DDP means you pay the full landed cost upfront — no additional charges at destination in Namibia.
Can I track my shipment from China to Namibia?
Yes — all shipments include tracking. Air freight shipments receive an airway bill number (AWB) for real-time airline tracking within 24 hours of departure. Sea freight shipments are trackable via the bill of lading number through the carrier's portal. We provide status updates at key milestones: departure, port of entry, customs clearance, and delivery.
What is the minimum shipment size for shipping to Namibia?
Minimum shipment sizes vary by channel: Air freight DDP channels typically accept from 21 KG (some from 12 KG). Sea freight LCL is usually priced from 1 CBM. Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) handles single parcels. For shipments below 21 KG, express courier services are available. Contact us to confirm the best option for your specific cargo.
