What Supplying South Africa (Johannesburg & Cape Town) Involves
Port & Transit
Main port: Durban / Cape Town. Transit roughly 24-32 days by sea from Yantian or Shenzhen. We quote FOB or DDP and issue a piece-by-piece CBM packing sheet so your forwarder can plan the container before the goods ship.
Certification & Climate
SANS 10177 / SABS fire testing supported. High UV on the highveld and strong coastal wind in Cape Town. Outdoor placements specify UV-stabilised foliage and wind-rated anchoring.
South African venues carry heavy casino, resort and retail planting, and load-shedding makes zero-maintenance greenery a genuine operational advantage rather than a nice-to-have.
