About us

The trade bridge between Chinese factories and African businesses

BFC Global Trade (BuyFromChina) exists to solve one problem: buying from China is cheap, but doing it yourself is hard. Language barriers, unverified suppliers, currency conversion, quality risks, and complicated shipping stop most African entrepreneurs from sourcing directly — so they buy from middlemen at inflated prices.

We remove every one of those barriers. Our team works with a network of verified Chinese suppliers and manufacturers, negotiates factory prices on your behalf, inspects every order before it ships, and moves your goods through trusted air and sea freight channels into Africa.

You deal with one company, in one currency, with one clear fee. Whether you're ordering a sample worth ₦80,000 or a container-level bulk purchase, the process is the same: request, quote, pay, receive.

BFC Global Trade is the official commerce partner of the Hafrik ecosystem — the technology powering the HafrikShop marketplace inside the Hafrik app. That partnership means our trade engine sits directly inside one of Africa's growing community platforms, putting factory-direct pricing in front of everyday users, creators and small businesses.

What we do

Every step of the trade, handled

We're not a courier and we're not just a shop — we're a full procurement service. Here's everything that happens under the hood when you order.

🔍

Product sourcing

Tell us what you need — a link, a photo, or just a description. We search factories, 1688, Taobao and wholesale markets to find the best version at the best price.

Supplier verification

We check business licences, trade history and factory credentials before any money moves. You never deal with an unverified seller.

🤝

Price negotiation

Our team negotiates in Chinese, at trade volume. The savings we secure often cover a large part of the procurement charge itself.

💱

Payments & exchange

You pay us in naira; we pay suppliers in RMB through secure trade channels. No forex stress, no failed international transfers, no card limits.

📸

Quality inspection

Before goods leave China, we inspect quantity, condition and specifications — and send you photo and video proof for approval.

📦

Consolidation

Buying from several suppliers? We combine everything into one shipment at our China warehouse, cutting your shipping cost significantly.

✈️

Air & sea freight

Fast air cargo for urgent or light goods; economical sea freight for bulk. We book, track and manage the shipment end to end.

🛃

Customs clearance

Our clearing partners handle documentation and duties at the Nigerian border, so your goods don't sit at the port.

🏠

Last-mile delivery

Pick up from our hub or have your order delivered to your address anywhere in Nigeria through our local delivery partners.

Strategic partnership

Powered by BFC Global Trade. Connected through Hafrik.

BFC Global Trade is the commerce and logistics engine of the Hafrik ecosystem — the same team and infrastructure behind HafrikShop, the marketplace inside the Hafrik app. The partnership joins Hafrik's community reach with BFC's trade capability, so buying from China feels as easy as using any other part of the app.

Trade

HafrikShop is the in-app storefront; BFC Global Trade runs the sourcing behind it. Every product you see is backed by our verified supplier network and factory-direct pricing. Hafrik business pages and creators get a direct pipeline to affordable stock and custom merch production.

Logistics

Orders placed in HafrikShop flow straight into BFC's logistics chain — warehousing in China, consolidation, air and sea freight, customs clearance and delivery across Nigeria. One order status, tracked from the factory floor to your front door.

Exchange

The hardest part of China trade is paying for it. Through the partnership, Hafrik users pay in naira inside the app while BFC settles suppliers in RMB through secure trade channels — with the rate locked at quotation, so the price you approve never changes.

The Hafrik ecosystem Hafrik HafrikShop × BFC
Currency & payments

You think in naira. We handle the RMB.

How the exchange works

When you request a quote, we convert the supplier's RMB price to naira at the current trade rate and lock it in. That locked rate stands for the validity window of your quote — market movement after you pay is our problem, not yours.

All supplier payments go through established B2B trade channels, not personal transfers — protecting your money and keeping every transaction traceable.

You pay ₦ NGN BFC converts Supplier receives ¥ RMB

Why this matters

Paying Chinese suppliers directly from Nigeria is where most import deals die: international card limits, blocked transfers, unfavourable bank rates, and the risk of paying a stranger overseas with no recourse.

With BFC, your money never leaves the country until the supplier is verified and the order confirmed — and because we aggregate many orders, we exchange at volume rates individual buyers can't access.

Payment methods: bank transfer, and in-app payment via HafrikShop. Receipts and a full naira breakdown are issued for every order.

Unified procurement charges

FAQ

Questions people ask before their first order

Do I need to know Chinese or contact suppliers myself?
No. That's the entire point of the service. You send us a product link, photo or description; our team handles all supplier communication, negotiation and payment in Chinese. You only ever deal with BFC, in English, in naira.
What's the minimum order?
There's no minimum. Orders below ₦100,000 simply attract the flat ₦10,000 service charge instead of a percentage — perfect for testing a product with a sample before committing to bulk.
How is the procurement charge different from shipping?
The procurement charge covers the service — sourcing, verification, negotiation, supplier payment, inspection and consolidation. Shipping (air or sea), customs duties and local delivery are quoted separately based on the weight and size of your actual goods, so you only pay logistics costs that match your order.
What happens if the goods arrive damaged or wrong?
This is why we inspect in China before shipping — you see photos and video of your actual goods and approve them before they leave the warehouse. If something is wrong at inspection, we resolve it with the supplier before your goods ship, while there's still leverage to fix it.
Can I order through the Hafrik app instead of the website?
Yes. HafrikShop inside the Hafrik app is powered by the same BFC Global Trade engine — same products, same fees, same logistics. Use whichever door is more convenient; your orders are handled by the same team either way.
Does the exchange rate change after I pay?
No. The naira amount on your approved quote is final. We lock the exchange rate at quotation, so market movement between payment and delivery doesn't affect what you pay.
Can you handle branding or custom manufacturing?
Yes — custom branding, labelling, packaging and OEM manufacturing are available as optional extras. This is especially popular with Hafrik creators producing branded merch. Mention it in your request and we'll include it in your quote.
How do I track my order?
You receive updates at every stage — supplier confirmation, warehouse arrival, inspection results, shipment departure, customs clearance, and delivery — through the app or your preferred contact channel.
