Top Logistics Ltd organises dependable sea freight from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Qingdao, and Xiamen to the Port of Papeete, typically via Asia–Pacific hubs like Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, or New Zealand and Pacific transshipment ports. With regular liner services, competitive FCL and LCL options, and professional handling of containers and breakbulk cargo, ocean freight is the most economical solution for building materials, food and beverages, homeware, hardware, vehicles, and project cargo bound for French Polynesia.
Top Logistics Ltd offers fast, secure air freight from key Chinese airports to Fa’a’a International Airport in Tahiti, usually routed through hubs such as Tokyo, Auckland, Los Angeles, or Honolulu. Designed for urgent, high‑value, or temperature‑sensitive shipments, our air services provide optimised connections, priority handling, and full documentation support for electronics, pharmaceuticals, fashion, spare parts, and high‑end resort supplies requiring short transit times into French Polynesia.
Top Logistics Ltd delivers integrated door‑to‑door logistics from China to French Polynesia by combining sea, air, and inter‑island distribution. We coordinate factory pick‑ups in China, manage export customs, supervise main‑leg transport and transshipment, and handle customs clearance and local delivery to warehouses, shops, hotels, marinas, and construction or public‑sector sites throughout Tahiti and the outer islands. This end‑to‑end service eliminates the need to juggle multiple agents and provides full visibility over costs and transit times.
Top Logistics Ltd specialises in Full Container Load (FCL) shipping from China to Papeete, offering 20GP, 40GP, and 40HQ containers for large or heavy consignments. We ensure secure stuffing and lashing at origin, select stable carrier services into Pacific hubs and on to Tahiti, and track containers throughout the journey. FCL is ideal for bulk food imports, construction supplies, furniture and fixtures for hotels and villas, vehicles, machinery, and supermarket stock where low unit freight cost, reduced handling, and strong cargo security are vital.
Top Logistics Ltd provides Less than Container Load (LCL) services from China to French Polynesia, allowing small and medium‑sized shipments to share container space. We consolidate LCL cargo at major Chinese ports, move it via suitable Pacific hubs, and deconsolidate in Papeete for local delivery or onward distribution to other islands. LCL is particularly suitable for spare parts, sample orders, boutique retail collections, and NGO supplies where volumes do not yet justify full containers but regular replenishment is required.

Duties and taxes are assessed on the customs value of the goods (usually CIF Papeete) according to the local tariff and tax schedule. Rates vary widely by HS code and product category—basic materials and essential goods may have lower rates, while luxury products, alcohol, tobacco, and vehicles can attract higher customs and excise duties. Additional charges such as statistical or harbour taxes may also apply. Top Logistics Ltd uses your HS codes and detailed product information to obtain duty and tax estimates from local brokers before shipment, giving you a realistic landed‑cost picture so you can plan pricing and decide on the most suitable sourcing and shipping options.
Main entry points are the Port of Papeete for sea freight and Fa’a’a International Airport for air. Due to distance and limited direct services, ships from China usually call at intermediate hubs such as Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, or other Pacific ports before reaching Tahiti. For air, common hubs include Tokyo, Auckland, Los Angeles, and Honolulu. The choice of hub affects frequency, transit time, and regional handling charges. Some routes provide more frequent sailings or flights but may be slightly more expensive; others offer lower base freight but longer or less predictable transits. Top Logistics Ltd evaluates hub performance, capacity, and weather sensitivity to select routings that offer robust schedules and competitive total cost for your destination in French Polynesia.
Tourism projects often require large volumes of furniture, fixtures, equipment, tiles, sanitary ware, and décor items, which must arrive in phases aligned with construction progress. Storage space on islands can be limited, and weather exposure is a concern for some materials. Some projects may also benefit from investment incentives requiring specific documentation. Top Logistics Ltd designs project‑specific logistics plans that sequence FCL shipments from China according to your build schedule, arrange temporary storage or container‑based warehousing in Tahiti if necessary, and coordinate delivery to each island and resort site. For oversized items (pools, large structures, boats), we arrange flat‑rack or breakbulk solutions, including route surveys and special handling at ports and on inter‑island vessels.
Be aware of regulations regarding prohibited or restricted items, import duties, and necessary documentation. Compliance with local laws and accurate declaration of goods is essential to avoid delays or fines.Cost control hinges on consolidation, route selection, and planning. Combining multiple orders into full containers reduces freight and port charges per unit. Selecting hubs and carriers with stable schedules minimises storage and demurrage caused by missed connections. For non‑urgent items, sea freight FCL is far cheaper than air; air should be reserved for time‑critical or very high‑value goods. Top Logistics Ltd helps you optimise packaging to maximise container utilisation, schedules shipments around known peak seasons or cyclone periods, negotiates competitive rates with carriers, and can set up regular consolidation departures from China to Papeete to stabilise pricing and transit times.
