Kwiklink Container Share · China to Africa
A Whole World of Goods. Just Your Share of the Container.
Import furniture, building materials, household goods and business inventory from China to Zambia, Zimbabwe and the DRC without paying for an entire shipping container.
Buy from one supplier or many. Our China warehouse partners receive your goods, we coordinate consolidation and international shipping, and we help arrange customs clearance and final delivery.
Why container sharing
International Shipping Made Accessible to Everyone.
Pay for the Space You Need
Your cargo is charged on the volume or weight it uses, not on a whole container.
Import from Multiple Chinese Suppliers
Buy from several suppliers and have everything delivered to one receiving warehouse.
Professional Cargo Consolidation
Packages are recorded, measured and consolidated into a planned container load.
Shipment Tracking
Follow verified milestones from China to your destination in your account.
Customs and Delivery Coordination
We coordinate documentation, clearance with licensed agents and final delivery.
Support for Individuals and Businesses
From one sofa to regular shop restocking, our team supports every importer.

China-to-Africa destinations
Zambia, Zimbabwe and the DRC from one platform.
Zambia
Zambia is landlocked, so sea freight from China reaches a coastal gateway port and continues by road. Kwiklink coordinates shared container shipments for household, construction and business cargo to Zambian cities.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is landlocked and is typically served through South African or Mozambican ports with onward road transport. We coordinate shared container shipping for families, builders and traders.
Democratic Republic of Congo
The DRC is served through East and Southern African ports for the Katanga region, and through the Atlantic port of Matadi for the west. Routes depend on the destination city.
