Ask our team
What do I need to import goods into Kenya?

Before a shipment leaves its origin, confirm the product description, quantity, supplier documents, packing details, dimensions and gross weight. Supporting documents may include a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, certificate or permit. Requirements vary by commodity and current Kenyan rules, so confirm the applicable process before shipping.

Should I choose air freight or sea freight?

Sea freight may suit larger or less time-sensitive consignments, while air freight can be considered when transit time is a priority. The best option depends on the shipment dimensions, weight, route, commodity and required delivery date.

What information do I need for a quote?

Include the origin and destination, commodity description, package count, dimensions, gross weight, cargo-ready date and the service you need. A commercial invoice, packing list or transport document helps if you have them.

Can you arrange collection and delivery?

Yes. Collection and delivery can form part of a wider freight movement, linking a supplier, warehouse, airport, port, customs point or final consignee. Tell us whether you need door-to-door delivery when you request your quote.

Is submitting the form a confirmed booking?

No. A form submission is a request for information. Rates, schedules, taxes, third-party charges and service availability are confirmed after we have reviewed your shipment details.
