Prices and terms, before you ask

An indicative price floor, real container loading and the terms we sell on — enough to judge whether we are worth a quotation, without a first round of questions.

Indicative price anchor

Model	Indicative price (FOB)
12K fixed-speed wall split	from US$159 / set
18K fixed-speed wall split	On request
24K fixed-speed wall split	On request

220-240 V / 1 Ph / 50 Hz, R32, fixed-speed wall split. FOB, MOQ 1 x 40'HQ per model. Copper, compressor and freight move — we confirm the price on your quotation date.

Container loading

Container	12K	18K	24K
20'	154	92	78
40'	320	198	165
40'HQ	366	225	190

The 12K loads 366 sets per 40'HQ — 43 more than the 323-set loading conventional for this class, roughly 12% less ocean freight on every set. Mixed load estimate: 40'HQ remaining sets = 366 - (18K qty x 1.55) - (24K qty x 1.80).

Frequently asked questions

Which AC capacity fits my market?

For bedrooms and small shops, 9,000–12,000 BTU is typical; 18,000–24,000 BTU suits larger shops, offices and meeting rooms. Match capacity to room size and heat load, not just price.

Do the units run on West African power?

Selected models run on West African grids: 220–240V / 50Hz, with T3 performance for 43°C+ heat and low-voltage startup around 135V on applicable units. Confirm the exact specification for your model before ordering.

R32 or R410A refrigerant?

We supply R32 (GWP 675), which meets the Kigali HFC phase-down. R410A is being phased out in several markets. We provide the MSDS and dangerous-goods declaration for sea freight.

Can I sell under my own brand?

Yes. Choose customer-brand private-label OEM or the JML White Label. Both are Midea-manufactured, non-Midea-branded equipment — your brand, or ours.

What is the container loading?

A 40'HQ holds about 366 × 12K, 225 × 18K or 190 × 24K fixed-speed split units. Mix BTU sizes and we return a FOB estimate.

How do I import to my country?

We prepare applicable certifications at order stage — Ghana Energy Commission L.I.2458, relevant Nigerian SONCAP/MEPS documentation, Senegal ASN conformity — and supply French documentation for the francophone markets. Documentation support is provided; final approval rests with the relevant authorities. Confirm duties and requirements with a licensed broker before shipment.
