| Method | Transit Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to DR Congo port + delivery |
| Sea Freight FCL | 28–45 calendar days | Full container to DR Congo port + delivery |

At 300 KG into DR Congo, LCL through the main commercial seaport is normally right unless you exceed ~5–6 CBM or ship on a regular cycle. FCL pays off past roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by the national customs service.
Space into DR Congo gets tight around Oct–Dec, layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
Ocean cargo into DR Congo generally moves through the main commercial seaport; air clears via the primary international airport. We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward leg to your delivery address, with clearance handled as a managed service.
For regulated cargo into DR Congo, budget for: Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory. A missing conformity document is the single most common reason the national customs service puts a shipment on hold, so verify your HS-code requirements before the goods leave China.
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 300 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
the national customs service will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
