Detailed explanation of Kilimall logistics solutions: GS and FBK models and embargoed product guide

Kilimall provides two main logistics solutions for Chinese sellers, namely GS mode (self-delivery) and FBK mode (platform overseas warehouse delivery). These two modes have their own characteristics and adapt to different delivery needs.

GS mode delivery process

After selecting the GS mode, sellers only need to send the goods to the platform’s transit warehouse in Guangzhou within 1 to 3 days after the customer places the order, and it should be completed within 7 days at the latest. The Kilimall platform will be responsible for a series of subsequent processes such as customs clearance, transportation and distribution. The estimated logistics timeliness is 15 to 30 days, which is among the best among cross-border e-commerce platforms. In terms of freight, the charge for uncharged products is US$8 per kilogram, while the charge for charged products is US$10 per kilogram.

FBK mode delivery process

When choosing the FBK model, sellers need to prepare a certain number of goods in advance to Kilimall’s overseas warehouse in Kenya. After the customer places an order, the platform will complete the delivery of the goods within about 3 days.

List of products embargoed by air transport

When performing cross-border transportation, sellers need to pay attention to the following prohibited products:

1. Chemicals and dangerous goods: Such as pharmaceuticals (including cosmetics such as foundation, eye cream, BB cream, facial mask, etc.).
