Importing gas stoves from China involves more than just buying — you need to manage shipping, Incoterms, and documentation. Getting this right protects your margin and avoids delays at the port. Here is what you need to know.
Understanding Incoterms
- EXW (Ex Works) — you collect the goods from our factory and handle all shipping. Lowest price, most work for you.
- FOB (Free On Board) — we deliver to the port and load the vessel; you handle sea freight and insurance. The most common choice.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) — we arrange and pay freight and insurance to your destination port. Simpler for you, slightly higher price.
- DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — we deliver to your door, duties included. Easiest, but highest cost.
Container Planning
Gas stoves are bulky, so container optimization matters. A 40ft container typically holds hundreds of stoves depending on size. Freestanding ranges take more space than built-in hobs. We help you plan mixed loads to maximize container utilization and minimize per-unit freight cost.
Documentation We Provide
For every shipment we provide the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificates of origin and conformity as required by your market. Proper documentation prevents customs delays.
Local Warehouse Option
For East African buyers, THREEMI supports local warehouse and stock-holding capability, reducing the risk and cash commitment of importing full containers. Ask us about regional distribution support.
