Little by little, the measure fills. Every container shipped, every customs cleared, every delivery made — building your trust one shipment at a time.
Our Mission
To make cross-border trade between China and East Africa as simple and reliable as local delivery. We eliminate the complexity of international shipping by controlling every link in the chain — from factory floor to final warehouse — with our own people on both sides.
Our Vision
To become the most trusted trade bridge between China and East Africa — not by being the biggest, but by being the most reliable. We envision a future where Tanzanian, Kenyan, and Ugandan businesses can source from China with the same confidence and ease as buying from a local supplier.
Who We Are
Yiwu Huatan Import & Export Co., Ltd. is a China-registered international trade company operating under the brand Tusiqi Trading. Our core business began in 1996 — three decades of moving cargo between China and Africa.
We are headquartered in Guangzhou with a branch office in Yiwu, covering China's two largest manufacturing and wholesale hubs. Our annual throughput exceeds 1,000 sea containers and 50 tons of air freight, serving importers across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
What sets us apart: both founders have lived in East Africa for over 15 years. Our customs clearance at Dar es Salaam port is handled by our own in-house team — not outsourced to a local agent. When a shipment hits a snag, we don't make phone calls. We show up.
What We Do
Six links. One chain. No one to blame but us.
Sourcing & Suppliers
Factory matching, OEM/ODM support, price negotiation, on-site audits.
Quality Control

Own clearance team at Dar port — not a subcontractor. We fix problems in person.
