How to buy from Alibaba and ship to Tanzania — the easy guide
Step-by-step: finding a supplier, paying safely, and getting your goods to Dar in under a week.
Importing from China sounds scary — it really isn't. Here's how our customers do it every day with Doctor Cargo.
1. Find your product on Alibaba
Use the search bar, filter by 'Verified Supplier' and 'Trade Assurance'. Message 3–5 suppliers for quotes.
2. Get a quote for shipping first
Before you pay the supplier, send us the Alibaba link or the product specs. We'll give you a per-kg shipping price so you know your total landed cost.
3. Pay your supplier — instantly
Skip the banks. Use our Instant Supplier Payment service — we pay in RMB the same day.
4. Give the supplier our China address
They ship to our Guangzhou warehouse (free storage). We weigh, photograph and notify you on arrival.
5. We fly it to you
2–5 working days to Dar. We track, clear customs, and deliver to your door. That's it — karibu importing.
