China to Manama Air Freight Forwarding

Preface

As an important economy in the Gulf region, Bahrain's capital Manama, with its free and open economic policies, sound financial system and superior geographical location, has become a key trade and logistics hub in the Middle East and a crucial node for Chinese enterprises to expand into the Gulf market. In recent years, cooperation between China and Bahrain in energy, finance, manufacturing and other fields has continued to deepen, with the scale of cargo exchanges expanding steadily. Trade categories have become increasingly diverse, ranging from oil refining equipment and construction materials to electronic products and household goods. To meet the demand of enterprises in both places for efficient cross-border logistics, we launch China to Manama air freight forwarding service. Relying on in-depth cooperation with Gulf Air, Air China and other airlines, we build an air transportation network covering major Chinese cities to Manama. By integrating domestic cargo collection, professional customs declaration, local customs clearance in Bahrain and end-to-end distribution resources, we provide a full-chain service from cargo collection to customers in Manama. With the help of an intelligent logistics management system, we realize full-process visual tracking, ensuring that goods arrive in a faster and more stable manner, providing solid support for China-Bahrain trade.

Detailed Door-to-Door Logistics Process

1. Demand Docking and Scheme Customization：After customers put forward air freight demands, dedicated logistics consultants will respond within 1.5 hours, clarifying cargo characteristics (such as whether they are dangerous goods or fragile goods), weight, volume, delivery time nodes and Manama receiving address through online communication. Combined with the latest policies of Bahrain Customs (such as some electronic devices requiring compliance certification), personalized schemes including route selection, packaging suggestions and customs clearance document lists are customized for customers, with cost details and risk response plans provided simultaneously.

2. Cargo Collection and Standardized Processing：After customers confirm the scheme, they can choose to send goods to domestic collection points or make appointments for door-to-door collection (supporting door-to-door service in more than 200 cities nationwide within 48 hours). Collection personnel verify goods on site, reinforce packaging that does not meet transportation standards (such as adding shockproof wooden frames for precision instruments, using leak-proof containers for liquid goods), record cargo data with intelligent terminals and generate unique tracking codes, which are uploaded to the logistics system in real time to achieve full-process traceability.

3. Domestic Customs Declaration and Airport Transfer：After goods are concentrated in the hub warehouse, the customs declaration team sorts out documents (commercial invoices need English annotations, certificates of origin, etc.) in accordance with the requirements of Bahrain Customs, and quickly declares through the electronic customs declaration system. The customs declaration time for ordinary goods is 1-2 working days. After approval, goods are transferred to the airport freight area by special vehicles, and dock with airlines to complete security inspection, palletizing and other operations to ensure on-time loading.

4. Air Transportation and Dynamic Monitoring：Goods are sent to Manama International Airport by direct or connecting flights as planned. Customers can check flight status, cargo location and estimated arrival time through the official website. The operation team monitors 7×24 hours. In case of flight delay, it immediately coordinates with airlines to prioritize transportation, and notifies customers and updates the time limit simultaneously.

5. Manama Customs Clearance and Warehousing Management：After the flight arrives, the local cooperative customs clearance agent, familiar with Bahrain's customs procedures, efficiently completes customs clearance procedures. The customs clearance time for ordinary goods is 2-3 working days. When temporary storage is needed, goods are stored in Manama Free Zone warehouse, which is equipped with temperature-controlled areas and 24-hour security. Customers can make appointments for delivery online.

6. Local Delivery and Sign-Off Filing：After customs clearance, vehicles (such as vans, refrigerated trucks) are deployed according to the type of goods, and delivered door-to-door by the local team in Manama. 24 hours before delivery, a reminder containing the information of the delivery personnel is sent via SMS and email. After arrival, assist customers in inspecting goods, and sign the electronic receipt after confirmation. The information is synchronized to the system in real time, and customers can download the receipt to complete the whole process.
