Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required to ship to Kenya?
Commercial invoice, packing list, IDF, BL/AWB, and product‑specific permits (e.g., KEBS/PPB). We guide you end‑to‑end.
How fast do air shipments clear at JKIA?
With complete documents and compliant goods, most air consignments clear within 1–3 working days.
Do you handle export shipping from Kenya?
Yes—bookings, AWB/BL, export entry, and certificates (origin/inspection where applicable).
Sea vs air: which is right for my cargo?
Choose air for speed/urgency and sea for bulky or cost‑sensitive freight. We’ll compare transit time vs. landed cost.
What taxes & levies apply?
Duty (per HS), VAT and government levies such as IDF and RDL. We calculate these precisely for your commodity.
Can you handle special cargo or permits?
Yes—pharma, perishables, mining and oversize cargo. We coordinate inspections and permits with KEBS/PPB and relevant agencies.
Do you operate at Mombasa, JKIA and ICD Nairobi?
Yes. We handle port/airport processes at Mombasa Port, JKIA and ICD Nairobi, plus inland transport.
How long does sea freight take?
Typical ocean transits to Mombasa are ~25–40 days depending on origin, carrier and routing.
FCL vs LCL—what’s the difference?
FCL = full container (faster handling, lower risk per unit). LCL = shared container (cost‑effective for small volumes; allow consolidation time).
Can you estimate my landed cost?
Yes—send invoice, packing list and HS code; we’ll return a duty/VAT/levy estimate with logistics.
Do you deliver to door?
We arrange countrywide delivery for containers and loose cargo with secure, GPS‑tracked moves.
