Although Burundi has no seaport, we coordinate sea freight arrivals primarily through Dar es Salaam and sometimes via Mombasa or Kigoma. Our team manages container booking, routing, and port handling, followed by inland trucking or rail movement into Burundi.
For time-sensitive or high-value goods, our air freight services offer fast and reliable delivery into Bujumbura International Airport, supported by stable airline capacity and priority cargo processing.
We provide fully managed door-to-door logistics—from pickup in China and export procedures to international freight, customs processing, and final delivery to cities and commercial zones within Burundi.
FCL shipping suits importers moving large quantities or cargo requiring secure, exclusive container space. We offer competitive 20GP, 40GP, and 40HQ rates and conduct detailed loading supervision to ensure proper packing and cargo safety. TJ Freight manages vessel scheduling, export documentation, transit through regional ports, and inland transportation into Burundi—providing consistent transit times and reliable supply chain performance.
Our LCL service supports smaller-volume shipments or goods sourced from multiple suppliers.

Detailed container loading supervision ensuring safe packing and proper cargo arrangement.
The main port in Burundi is the Port of Bujumbura. It is the primary entry point for sea freight, although land transport is commonly used due to Burundi being landlocked.
Shipping times can vary depending on the departure city. For instance, shipments from southern cities like Guangzhou might be quicker compared to those from northern cities like Beijing due to shorter transport distances and more direct routes.
Common shipping methods include air freight, which is faster but more expensive, and sea freight, which is more economical but slower. Depending on urgency and budget, businesses choose the appropriate method.
Air freight is significantly more expensive than sea freight due to its speed and convenience. Sea freight is more cost-effective but requires a longer shipping duration, which can impact inventory and supply chain planning.
Factors include weather conditions, port congestion, customs delays, political instability, and transportation issues. Each of these can contribute to longer shipping times than initially estimated.
