Small parcels & samples from Yiwu to Benin

Parcels are usually charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. Example: a 40 × 30 × 30 cm carton is 36,000 cm³; divided by a 5000 factor it weighs 7.2 kg volumetric even if it actually weighs 3 kg. The factor used is stated in the quote.

• Ask the supplier for the sample weight and packed dimensions.
• Say whether it contains a battery, liquid or magnet.
• Combine samples from several suppliers into one parcel to cut cost.

Several African countries run pre-shipment inspection and certificate-of-conformity programmes for some goods, and document requirements differ between countries. We confirm with you what the destination requires before preparing the shipment.

This is general guidance and may change. Confirm current requirements with the authorities or a customs broker in your country.
