For Chinese manufacturers
From factory floor to Zanzibar site — without opening a branch.
Chinese factories supply a large share of the world's construction products — and Zanzibar's hotels, villas and developments buy them constantly. The gap is rarely price or quality; it is local presence, trust and follow-up.
In short
Chinese manufacturers sell into Zanzibar through the Market Access Program: verified listings, local sales representation, consolidated shipping and clearing coordination, and routed project demand — a complete route to market with no local company required.
The programme closes that gap: your catalogue becomes verified listings, your brand gains a local face for meetings and sites, and consolidation plus clearing coordination solve the container-to-site journey.
Consolidation solved
Multi-product containers consolidated, cleared and delivered to site — per agreement, without your logistics team.
Trust, translated
Verification, local meetings and site presence convert price interest into placed orders.
Category breadth wins
Factories with wide ranges get specified across packages — lighting plus switches, tiles plus sanitaryware.

Direct answers
Can an overseas manufacturer join without a local company?
Yes. Overseas manufacturers participate without opening a Zanzibar company or hiring staff — Zanzibaba acts as the local commercial gateway, handling presence, representation and follow-up.
Who handles shipping, customs and delivery?
Per agreement: you can supply directly, or Zanzibaba coordinates consolidation, importation, clearing and last-mile delivery to site. Import requirements are captured during application.
Who controls my pricing?
You do. Public prices come only from data you approve; otherwise listings show price on request. Plant and factory pricing is never exposed without your permission.
How do we communicate across time zones?
Applications, catalogues and approvals run through the structured online flow; hot opportunities are escalated by phone/WhatsApp. You stay reachable — we do the island legwork.
Can we start with a small trial range?
Yes — most overseas factories start with a focused best-seller selection, prove demand, then expand ranges and tiers. The application captures your trial scope.
