Air Freight: Fast but Costly

For those who need the fastest delivery, angkutan udara is the way to go. The transit time from Johannesburg is 5-12 days, and from Cape Town/Durban, it’s 10-15 days. Here’s a breakdown of the costs:

Johannesburg (JNB): First 0.5kg $19.50, Add 0.5kg $6.50, 21kg+ $12.50/kg, 100kg+ $12.00/kg

Cape Town/Durban: First 0.5kg $21.00, Add 0.5kg $7.00, 21kg+ $13.00/kg, 100kg+ $12.50/kg

Sea Freight: Economical but Time-consuming

Angkutan laut is more economical, with transit times of 40-55 days. Here’s how the costs are structured:

General Goods – $270 / CBM

Auto Parts & Home Appliances – $360 / CBM

Shoes & Textiles – $585 / CBM

Cosmetics / Adult Products – $555 / CBM

Murni Baterai – $630 / CBM

Electric Vehicles – $630 / CBM

Real-life Calculation Example

Let’s say you’re shipping a 1 CBM container of solar panels from China to Johannesburg. The cost would be $270. If you’re shipping 100 kg of inverters, the cost would be $12.00/kg, totaling $1200.

Special Notes

It’s important to note that oversized items and textiles have additional charges. For example, a single item over 70kg or length over 120cm incurs an oversized fee of $38/ticket. Textile and clothing products to South Africa must have English washing labels, ingredient labels, and ‘Made in China’ tags.
