Who This Page Is For

A trade enquiry page, not a consumer service desk

This is HINLIM's trade enquiry page for Botswana, not a consumer service desk. It exists for wholesale enquiries from furniture retailers, importers, trading companies, interior design firms, and developers sourcing furniture at volume for the Botswana market.

If you are buying a single piece for your own home, HINLIM is not the right supplier — we sell to businesses that resell, specify, or install. If you are buying to stock a shop in Gaborone or Francistown, to supply a project, or to import a mixed container, everything below is written for you.

HINLIM manufactures and exports from Penang, Malaysia. There is no HINLIM office in Botswana — every enquiry on this page is handled directly by the factory's own sales team, which is why the pricing, stock, and lead times you are quoted come from the source rather than an intermediary. You can read more about HINLIM's history and export operation before you get in touch.

Time Zones

Calling from Botswana: the time difference

Quick answer HINLIM's Monday–Friday, 08:00–18:00 MYT office hours fall between 02:00 and 12:00 CAT in Botswana. Contact the team before roughly midday, Gaborone time, and you reach someone live; anything sent later in your business day is answered the next business day.

Botswana runs on Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2). Malaysia runs on Malaysia Time (MYT, UTC+8). Neither country observes daylight saving, so the six-hour gap between them is fixed all year — it does not shift seasonally.

Time zone note: Email, WhatsApp, and the enquiry form are all monitored against HINLIM's 24-hour international response commitment, so the time difference changes when you get a reply — not whether you get one.

02:00–12:00 CAT, Monday to Friday

Your Contact

Who handles your enquiry

Your enquiry will be handled by HINLIM's dedicated Botswana sales representative, the same contact referenced on our Homepage and Services page — not a generic global inbox. That representative works from HINLIM's head office in Penang, Malaysia, and covers the Botswana market end to end: first enquiry, pricing, container planning, and follow-up orders.

Enquiry Form

Send an Enquiry

Use the form below for a considered enquiry — a wholesale price list, a project requirement, a container mix, or an OEM question. Selecting an enquiry type routes your message straight to the right person instead of a general queue.

Pricing

Request the wholesale price list

To request HINLIM's wholesale price list, select Wholesale Price List Request in the form above, or email sales@hinlim.com with the categories you are interested in and your approximate volumes. HINLIM returns trade pricing together with current stock availability.

All HINLIM quotations and invoices are issued in US dollars. Your landed cost in pula will depend on your own freight, duty, and clearing arrangements in Botswana, so a USD quotation is the figure you build that calculation on.

Trade documentation

HINLIM issues a complete export document set with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Your own customs and licensing obligations in Botswana stay with you and your clearing agent.

If you are formalising a new import supplier — applying for or renewing a trade licence, or registering the shipment with the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) — that paperwork sits on your side of the transaction. What HINLIM provides is the export side of it, correctly issued.

HINLIM's export documentation has supported buyers in more than 100 markets since 1971. Based on that experience, HINLIM recommends asking early: if your agent needs a document in a particular format, raise it before the shipment is booked rather than after it sails.
