Importing trucks, with no grey areas
We are an import broker based in Cotonou. Our job: bringing you the right truck or machine from China, at the right price, while handling the most complex part of the operation for you.
Our company
A bridge between China and West Africa
Buying a machine in China from West Africa is possible, but risky when done alone: finding a reliable supplier, checking the real condition of the vehicle, arranging sea freight, understanding customs duties, avoiding nasty surprises on arrival at the port.
Seven Trading handles that chain for you. You tell us what you need; we search, we verify, we import and we deliver. You stay in control: you approve the quote, you see the machine in photos before it ships, you pay in stages.
Our quality process
The machine is checked before it leaves China
Trust isn't declared, it's proven. Here are the safeguards we put in place on every order.
Inspection before shipping
Checks on mechanical condition, hours/mileage, documents and compliance. Photos and report shared before the ship departs.
Clearance by a licensed broker
Licensed partner brokers at the region's ports handle the customs and port formalities. No improvisation, no avoidable blockage.
Secure staged payment
Deposit to launch, balance on delivery. You never pay the full amount sight unseen before you've seen the machine.
The founders
Two contacts, one file
You're not talking to a call centre. Every request is handled personally by one of the two of us.

Legal information
The legal notice and terms of sale will be published here once drafted and approved by a lawyer (company name, business ID, registered address, contractual terms). This content legally binds the company and must not be improvised.
