Our air freight services offer fast and controlled delivery into Kigali International Airport. We arrange dependable airline capacity and streamline handling for urgent goods or high-value cargo requiring accelerated transit.
We manage the full logistics process—from supplier pickup in China and export documentation to ocean or air movement, customs coordination, and final delivery to any Rwandan destination.
FCL shipping suits businesses moving significant volumes or goods that require dedicated container space, minimal handling, and enhanced security. We negotiate competitive 20GP, 40GP, and 40HQ container rates while supervising loading operations to ensure proper packing, stability, and cargo safety. TJ Freight handles export documentation, carrier scheduling, and inland transit from gateway ports to Rwanda, giving importers a consistent, predictable, and efficient supply chain from China.
