China–Djibouti–Ethiopia
Logistics Built on Trust
OKAR Trade & Logistics is an integrated freight company connecting Chinese manufacturers with businesses across East Africa through reliable, end-to-end logistics solutions.
Built to Simplify
Cross-Border Trade
OKAR Trade and Logistics is an integrated logistics company built to eliminate the complexity of importing from China to East Africa. We provide a single accountable partner for the entire supply chain — from identifying the right supplier and verifying product quality, to managing ocean or air freight, clearing customs in Djibouti, and delivering cargo to warehouses across Ethiopia.
From supplier verification and product inspections to freight consolidation, customs clearance and last-mile delivery, we coordinate every stage so our clients can focus on their business rather than their logistics. Our on-ground teams in both Guangzhou and Djibouti give us direct visibility and control at every critical point in the corridor.
Mission
To manage every stage of the import and export journey — from sourcing, inspection, logistics and delivery — so that our clients can grow with confidence.
Vision
To become the most trusted China-to-Africa logistics partner, known for reliability, transparency and total supply chain control.
“We do not just move cargo — we deliver certainty. Every shipment we handle carries a commitment to accuracy, transparency and results.”
— The OKAR Standard
What Drives Us
Reliability
We follow through on every commitment — from promised timelines to confirmed shipment details.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprises. We communicate clearly at every stage of the logistics process.
Partnership
We treat every client relationship as a long-term partnership, not a one-time transaction.
Precision
Logistics is a detail business. We get the documentation, quantities, and deadlines right every time.
Local Presence
On-ground teams in both China and Djibouti give us direct access and real-time control at both ends.
Proudly Rooted in Djibouti
Djibouti is the gateway to East Africa — home to one of the continent's busiest ports and the primary entry point for Ethiopia's import economy. OKAR's Djibouti presence gives us direct access to port operations, customs authorities, and the transit corridor that connects the Red Sea to landlocked Ethiopia.

Africa–China Export Programme
A reverse logistics programme enabling East African producers to export goods — including agricultural products, coffee, and raw materials — back to Chinese and global markets through OKAR's established trade routes.
Chinese Companies — Open Your Djibouti Branch
OKAR is actively working to attract Chinese manufacturers and trading companies to establish branch offices in Djibouti. As a strategic gateway to East Africa, Djibouti offers direct access to the Ethiopian market and the wider Horn of Africa region. We provide full on-ground support — from registration and licensing to office setup and local market entry.
Common Questions
OKAR's main office is in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China — the hub of Chinese manufacturing and trade. We also have an operational presence in Djibouti City to manage port operations, customs, and onward transit into Ethiopia.
