Workwear & safety clothing: Heavy industry in Douala wants workwear that survives industrial laundering and hard use, so fabric weight, seam strength and colour-fastness are tested and reported before dispatch.

Retail chains & stores: Stores in Douala plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

The container is discharged at Douala, which is Douala itself, so clearance and delivery happen locally. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
