A buying agent in China for Namibia
Namibia has its own deep-water port at Walvis Bay, so goods from China can come straight to the coast and reach Windhoek by road. The route itself is well run. The supplier side is where most problems start: the wrong specification, poor quality, or a seller who stops answering after payment.
We work in China for you. We verify suppliers, approve samples, inspect your goods before they ship and keep you updated on WhatsApp until they reach Windhoek, Swakopmund, Oshakati or your town.

Before you import into Namibia
A few things worth checking before you place an order. Rules change, so always confirm the details for your product.
Use Walvis Bay to your advantage
Shipping straight into Walvis Bay avoids crossing another country, which keeps the paperwork simple. Ask us to compare it with the Durban road route for your town.
Check product rules before you order
Some products, such as certain electrical goods, food or cosmetics, may need permits or standards approval. Confirm with NamRA or your clearing agent first.
Work out your full landed cost
Add freight, insurance, customs duty, VAT, port and clearing fees, and road transport from Walvis Bay to the product price.
Order samples from new suppliers
A sample costs little compared with a container of the wrong product. We approve samples with you before the bulk order is paid.
Questions from Namibia
Can you buy from 1688, Alibaba or Taobao for me and ship to Namibia?
Yes. Send us the product link or a photo. We check the seller, pay them, inspect your goods and arrange shipping to Namibia.
Many 1688 and Taobao sellers only deal with buyers inside China, so having someone on the ground makes this much easier.
Do goods for Namibia come through Walvis Bay or Durban?
Most sea freight for Namibia goes straight to Walvis Bay. Durban followed by a long road trip is sometimes used, depending on sailings and where you are. We look at both when we quote.
How long does shipping from China to Namibia take?
Sea freight to Walvis Bay usually takes several weeks, plus clearance and the road trip inland. Air freight to Windhoek is much faster for small, urgent items. We confirm current times with your quote.
Who pays customs duty and VAT in Namibia?
Duty and VAT are paid to NamRA when your goods are cleared, based on the type of goods and their value. Namibia is part of SACU, so it shares a common external tariff with South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.
Can you check a supplier before I pay?
Yes. Verifying the supplier is the first thing we do. We confirm the company is real, compare prices with other factories, and approve samples with you before you pay for the full order.
Do you deliver outside Windhoek?
Yes. We coordinate shipping to your door in Namibia, including Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Oshakati and Rundu. Tell us your town when you ask for a quote.
