Helping traders with Dubai and Chinese links

A full service ranging from applying for business visas to booking flights and accommodation and then introducing traders to suppliers in China, India and Dubai – followed by the forwarding and clearing of freight into Zambia – is being offered by Central Freight Logistics and Shipping (CFLS) based in Ndola. Commercial director Bryan Sikalubya is building on the experience he acquired while stationed in Dubai to provide support to Zambian importers. The company has representative offices in Dubai, India, China, USA, UK, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Angola, South Africa and Namibia. “We have partners in Dubai, India and China who meet the traders and support them through the whole process of finding stock, negotiating with the sellers, payment and arranging to have it imported into Zambia,” he says.
