How long does China procurement to Kampala take?
A realistic door-to-door timeline is roughly 8–12+ weeks by sea—allowing 1–2 weeks for RFQ, 3–6 for production, then ocean transit, border, and clearance.
China procurement to Kampala typically takes 8–12+ weeks by sea from RFQ to arrival, with air freight compressing transit to days.
Week 1–2: RFQ, shortlist, samples. Week 3–6: Production (varies widely by product). Week 7: Inspection, PVoC if required, and freight booking. Week 8–12+: Ocean transit, port, border, and clearance (air is days, not weeks).
Build buffer for Chinese holidays and document corrections. Start UNBS/PVoC and HS classification before the goods are packed—not after the vessel sails.
AMG can own sourcing follow-up, inspection coordination, and door-to-door logistics inside one plan.
