Frequently asked questions
Answers before your cargo moves.
Clear information helps reduce delays. These are the questions importers and exporters ask most often.
What shipping solutions does Sheffield Cargo provide?
Sheffield provides import and export shipping solutions through air freight, LCL shared-container shipping and FCL dedicated-container shipping. Door-to-door, door-to-port, port-to-door and port-to-port services can be coordinated according to the route and agreed scope, with collection, documentation, customs clearance and delivery arranged as required.
Which documents are needed for customs clearance in Kenya?
Requirements depend on the commodity and transport mode. Common documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, Import Declaration Form, certificate of origin and any commodity-specific permits. Sheffield confirms the applicable checklist after reviewing your shipment.
Does Sheffield Cargo handle both air and sea freight?
Yes. We coordinate international air freight through JKIA and LCL or FCL sea freight through the Port of Mombasa, together with customs clearance, documentation and inland transport.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL shipping?
LCL allows smaller consignments to share container space and is charged by weight or measurement. FCL gives one shipper exclusive use of a 20FT or 40FT container and is generally suitable for larger volumes or cargo requiring dedicated capacity.
Can Sheffield clear cargo at JKIA and Mombasa Port?
Yes. Sheffield coordinates air-cargo customs clearance at JKIA and sea-cargo clearance at Mombasa Port, as well as container movements through Nairobi ICD and Embakasi.
How can I receive an accurate freight quotation?
Share the cargo description, gross weight, dimensions, package count, origin, destination and preferred mode. For imports, attach the commercial invoice and packing list so the team can assess documentation and customs requirements.
Does Sheffield arrange cargo delivery within Kenya?
Yes. Inland transport can be coordinated from JKIA, Mombasa Port or Nairobi ICD to the final destination, subject to the route, cargo type and suitable vehicle availability.
