Sea freight from Yiwu, China to Afghanistan

Full container or LCL to Afghanistan?
If your goods fill most of a container, a full container (FCL) is usually cheaper and simpler. For smaller volumes, LCL lets you pay only for the cubic metres your cargo occupies, with extra consolidation and devanning steps.
Where possible we price both so you compare the total cost to Afghanistan, not just the freight.
Arrival ports in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is landlocked, so sea shipments arrive at a port in a neighbouring country and continue by road or rail. We state the transit port and inland route in the quote; it may differ by delivery city.
