Alichina Freight offers dependable and cost-effective sea freight services from China to Tuvalu, primarily through Funafuti Port. Thanks to our strong partnerships with carriers, we provide competitive FCL and LCL rates, reliable schedules, and a seamless export process. Sea freight is the perfect solution for bulk shipments, building materials, retail goods, machinery, and general commercial cargo that require secure and efficient ocean transport.
For urgent shipments, Alichina Freight provides expedited air freight services to Tuvalu through key transit hubs like Fiji (Nadi), Kiribati, or Brisbane. Transit times typically range from 4 to 8 days, depending on the routing. We handle airline bookings, export compliance, customs documentation, and final delivery, making air freight an ideal choice for electronics, perishables, fashion goods, and high-value cargo.
Our door-to-door logistics service ensures that your cargo is safely delivered from your supplier in China to your destination in Tuvalu. Alichina Freight oversees every step: factory pickup, export clearance, sea or air transport, customs procedures, and delivery to homes, stores, warehouses, or government facilities across Tuvalu’s islands. With full visibility and reliable local partnerships, we guarantee a smooth and stress-free delivery experience.
Full-container-load (FCL) shipping is the ideal solution for businesses transporting larger volumes of goods. Alichina Freight secures competitive FCL rates and coordinates efficient ocean transport to Funafuti. Dedicated container space ensures stronger cargo protection, reduced handling, and consistent transit times—perfect for machinery, construction supplies, furniture, hotel goods, and general commercial shipments.
For smaller shipments that don’t require a full container, Alichina Freight offers a flexible and cost-effective less-than-container-load (LCL) service. We consolidate your cargo in major Chinese warehouses, arrange LCL shipping to Tuvalu, and handle customs clearance and island distribution. LCL is perfect for SMEs, mixed-SKU shipments, and clients looking for economical shipping solutions without sacrificing reliability.
