Tianci International, operating through its Hong Kong-based subsidiary Roshing, is an asset-light ocean freight forwarder. Roshing does not own ships — it charters cargo space from carriers and resells that space to cargo owners, freight agents, international trade companies, and commodity buyers. Roshing offers two core services: container shipping, primarily on routes from Asia to Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Australia, moving goods like auto parts, electronics, and consumer products; and bulk cargo shipping, arranging vessel charters for loose commodities like steel, lumber, and agricultural products, with routes currently focused on Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Roshing's business model is built on the spread between what it charges customers and what it pays carriers, with economics driven by securing competitive rates through supplier relationships and improving margins at higher volumes. With no owned assets and just 13 employees, the cost structure is lean and variable. Roshing also generates a small amount of revenue from distributing electronic hardware components and providing software and visa consulting services. The company is pursuing geographic expansion into South America and Africa, and is in early stages of building a chrome and manganese ore trading business, which would introduce commodity price and inventory risk not present in its current logistics model. CEO Shufang Gao, formerly of a major global shipping conglomerate, sources most business through direct relationships and referrals.
