Three ways into the detail
Specifications, the regulatory picture, or straight to a price — whichever you need first.
Who we are
The company is new. The experience behind it is not.
Nanjing Bolante International Trade Co., Ltd. is an export trading company registered in the Nanjing Area of the China (Jiangsu) Pilot Free Trade Zone. We supply portable and split air conditioning units to importers, wholesalers and retail buyers in the European Union.
Our founding team brings eighteen years in electrical appliances, and in air conditioning in particular: model selection and what actually separates one specification from another, export procedure and the documents each market asks for, and the EU requirements that decide whether a unit may be placed on the market at all. The consequence for you is practical rather than decorative — a technical question comes back answered in the same reply, not after we have gone to ask the factory.
The company itself was registered in 2026, and we would rather state the rest plainly too: we do not own factories and we do not hold stock. What we do is select manufacturing partners in the Chinese HVAC supply base, verify that a model can genuinely be placed on the EU market as specified, and manage the order from specification through to the delivered container.

Shipping
Base ports we quote to
Indicative port-to-port transit ex Shanghai or Ningbo. Actual routing, transhipment and dangerous-goods acceptance are confirmed with the carrier before the sailing is fixed.
North Europe
- Rotterdam
- Antwerp
- Hamburg
- Bremerhaven
- Felixstowe
- Gdańsk
Mediterranean
- Valencia
- Barcelona
- Genoa
- Koper
- Piraeus
Other ports on request. LCL is possible for trial orders but is rarely economic for this product and complicates handling of R290 units.
Season planning
To be on the shelf in May, when do you have to order?
The European selling window for portable air conditioning runs from May to August. The table below introduces no new numbers — it works backwards from the shelf date using the two figures already on this page: 30–45 days of production, and 22–40 days port to port.
- 01November
Enquiry, model selection, samples, and the EPREL and energy label route agreed
The compliance work has to come first. A labelling problem found after the container is loaded is the importer's problem, not the factory's.
- 02Late December – early January
Order confirmed, deposit paid, production slot booked
Working back from the 30–45 day production time on this page.
- 03Mid-February (North Europe) · early March (Mediterranean)
Loaded and sailed
Working back from the port-to-port transits on this page. Units charged with R290 book as dangerous goods and need the slot secured earlier.
- 04Mid-April
Arrival, customs clearance, inland distribution
Allowing for clearance and inland transport.
- 05Early May
On the shelf in Europe
The selling season opens.
This is the normal rhythm for a direct sailing to a base port, not a commitment. In peak season both factory slots and vessel space tighten, and actual dates are confirmed per order.
