How do you ship cargo to Guinea from the UK?
Two routes. Sea freight through the Port of Conakry — Guinea's principal deep-water gateway — is the cost-effective choice for bags, barrels, boxes, furniture and full 20ft/40ft containers. Air freight into Conakry suits urgent, fragile or high-value items, arriving in days. We handle groupage and full-container loads, with UK-wide collection into our Dagenham depot.
How long does shipping from the UK to Guinea take?
Sea cargo to Conakry generally takes 4–6 weeks port-to-port plus inland delivery; some services transship through a neighbouring hub, which can add a few days. Air freight to Conakry is typically a few working days. We quote a realistic window per shipment.

Guinea customs — what you need
