Transit time from China to Antigua is approximately 60-70 days. Shipping timelines can vary due to factors such as port traffic, customs, vessel availability, weather, and local port conditions.

At this time, we don’t handle sourcing or shipping for clothing or other fashion-related items through our LCL service. This includes bags, shoes, slippers, belts, hats, wigs, fake hair, jewelry, watches, sunglasses, wallets, clothing (men’s, women’s, and children’s), undergarments, and other fashion accessories.

We also do not ship any branded goods or items that display registered trademarks, logos, or brand names — whether genuine or imitation. Because it’s difficult to verify all possible brands and registrations, we’ve chosen to leave this category out entirely.

This policy helps us stay fully compliant with international shipping regulations and intellectual property laws, and ensures that all shipments move smoothly through customs without risk of delay or seizure.

Once the container reaches St. John’s Port, it is unloaded at the Antigua and Barbuda National Ports Authority warehouse. Clients are then notified when their shipments are ready for pickup.

– All items must be boxed
– Bulky items must be palletized
– Fragile or heavy goods must be packed in wooden crates
– Items that are poorly packaged may be refused or delayed
– Extra packing fees may apply if your items need to be repacked by our team

– All goods should be invoiced under EX-Works (EXW) terms
– We do not participate in coordinating Chinese export tax credit claims
– If coordination is needed or required by your supplier or factory  for a tax credit, a $100 USD documentation fee will be charged
– Confirm EX-Works terms before placing orders with factories or suppliers

One CBM is approximately:
– 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet (or 91.5 cm on each side)
That’s roughly the size of a large appliance box and can hold around 8 to 12 medium-sized boxes, depending on packing.

Yes! If you have a small quantity of goods and would like to utilize our Less Than Container Load (LCL) services, we are happy to assist.

We can help you ship the items that you have already purchased from your choice of suppliers. Our LCL service is perfect for individuals or small businesses that do not need a full container but still want professional, reliable shipping from China to Antigua and the Caribbean.

Not every shipment fills a full cubic meter — and that’s perfectly fine. If you’re sending small packages, cartons, or mixed goods that add up to less than 1 CBM, we can handle those too.

Our team manages these smaller shipments separately to make sure you get the best possible handling and pricing. Whether it’s a few boxes, samples, small appliances, personal items, or just a tiny order from China, we’ll help you move it safely and cost-effectively by sea.

📲 Please contact us directly for details, as small-package shipments have their own process and pricing.

Let us know what you need shipped — we’ll take care of the rest. 🌊

China2Dadli does not recommend specific suppliers or factories. The choice of supplier is your own responsibility.

However, if you are:
– Building a house
– Opening a retail or wholesale business
– Managing a complex project
…we can connect you with our Project Department where you will have access to a complete sourcing solution where we handle all details for you to import and save buying from qualified and vetted factories directly. 

We’ve assisted many Caribbean clients in sourcing building materials, machinery, and other custom products. Our team ensures goods are affordable, high quality, and tailored to your needs..  

Although our offices are located in China, we frequently visit Antigua to meet with clients who are involved in building projects or bulk sourcing operations.

If you’re managing a project and would like to meet, let us know and we can arrange a visit during one of our upcoming trips—or set up a virtual meeting.

Yes, we offer full container (FCL) shipping services, but only as part of our complete sourcing solution.

This means we work directly with our extensive list of qualified and vetted suppliers in China to coordinate, consolidate, and manage all goods for your shipment, typically for large projects such as building materials or bulk imports. We specialize in handling complex orders from multiple suppliers, ensuring everything is packed into one 20ft or 40ft container and shipped efficiently to Antigua.

If you’re not using our sourcing service, we recommend our LCL (Less-than-Container Load) shipping option, which is better suited for smaller shipments or self-managed purchases.

Absolutely! Building your dream home starts with a solid design and planning process, and we can help you every step of the way. We’ve worked with building projects across the Caribbean, including Antigua, assisting customers with sourcing and selecting materials that fit their design vision while staying within budget.

Our approach focuses on:

•Design-aligned sourcing: We help you choose materials, fixtures, and finishes that match your design plans, ensuring your home looks exactly how you envisioned it.

•Efficient shipping solutions: Whether it’s LCL (Less-than-Container Load) or bulk shipments, we make sure your materials arrive safely and cost-effectively.

•Planning for cost efficiency: By coordinating shipments and deliveries according to your construction schedule, we help you avoid unnecessary delays and storage costs.

•Inspection and compliance: All shipments are checked before leaving, so you receive exactly what you need without customs or regulatory issues.

With careful planning and smart sourcing, you can bring your design to life affordably, knowing your materials will arrive on time and meet your quality expectations.
