The everyday volume trade, done properly.
Homeware, tools, apparel, electronics, toys and small appliances. No minimum order value, the same 8% flat fee, and the same inspection and consolidation as everything else we carry.
Most of what a Middle East buyer actually orders.
We are not a category specialist. We are a buying team with a warehouse, and this is the volume that keeps it busy — the lines where the product is ordinary and the execution is the whole value.
| Category | Typical order shape | What we watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Homeware & furniture | Flat-pack, kitchen, storage, small furniture | Volume and weight drive the freight line — consolidated by CBM |
| Apparel & footwear | Sizes, colours, retail-ready packing | Textile duty bands are wider — quoted as a range before purchase |
| Tools & hardware | Hand tools, power tools, fittings | Electric tools need the conformity route for the destination market |
| Consumer electronics | Accessories, small appliances, audio | Batteries and power banks are reviewed, with MSDS / UN38.3 |
| Toys & games | Toys, puzzles, outdoor games | Toys are a regulated category in most Gulf markets — conformity checked before dispatch |
| Beauty & personal care | Skincare, hair care, grooming | Liquids and aerosols need safety documentation and a reviewed route |
| Books & printed matter | Books, catalogues, printed material | Duty-free entry in the Gulf; light and cheap to fly |
| Parts & accessories | Auto parts, machine spares, fittings | Matched against the vehicle or machine before purchase |
Reviewed before payment, every time.
These are not banned. They are documented. A shipment with the right papers moves normally; a shipment without them does not move at all, and the storage bill starts on day one.
Lithium cells and power banks
We need the UN38.3 test summary and the manufacturer's safety data sheet before we accept the goods. Air freight has its own state-of-charge limits; we pick the mode that keeps the shipment legal.
If the supplier cannot produce the documents, we cannot ship it. That is a sourcing problem, and we flag it before payment.
Perfumery, cosmetics, oils, sprays
Volume limits, packaging rules and dangerous-goods declarations apply, and they differ by mode. We confirm the packaging, the quantity per package and the route together.
Perfume and cosmetics are also regulated categories in several Gulf markets, so the conformity route is checked at the same time.
Drones, e-cigarettes, medical devices
Reviewed case by case against the destination market — radio frequencies, health registration, age restrictions and licensing all apply.
Some of these we can carry and some we cannot. The answer comes before you pay, not after the carton is sealed.
Same process, smaller boxes.
You send the link
Product link, quantity and destination. If there are several suppliers, send them all — consolidation is free and it usually lowers the freight.
We quote, itemised
Goods, 8% sourcing fee, China domestic freight, international freight, duty, VAT, delivered total. One sheet, three to five business days.
We buy, receive and merge
Goods arrive at Guangzhou, are counted, photographed and inspected, and are merged into fewer cartons. Thirty days of storage are free while it fills.
Cleared and delivered
Duty and VAT prepaid, Arabic documents, local last-mile partner. The consignee pays nothing on arrival.

General cargo is where our flat fee works hardest. One item and one hundred cartons are handled the same way.
