Questions we are often asked
Is air freight charged per KG or per CBM?
Air freight is charged per KG. The airline uses the actual weight or the volume weight, whichever is higher. Sea LCL is charged per CBM.
What documents do I need to import into Kenya?
Usually the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, your KRA PIN and the Import Declaration Form. Some goods also need a KEBS certificate of conformity. We check your documents before the cargo arrives.
How is KRA import duty worked out?
KRA charges import duty, VAT and other levies on the customs value of the goods, which is based on your invoice and freight. Send us your invoice and we give you an estimate before you ship.
How long does customs clearing take?
It depends on your documents, the type of goods and whether KRA or KEBS inspect the cargo. When we see your documents we give you a realistic time for your shipment.
Can I get an FCL price online?
No. Full container prices change with the shipping line, route and season, so we quote each FCL shipment from your invoice and packing list.
How do I track my shipment?
Send us your bill of lading, container or air waybill number on WhatsApp or use the Track box at the top of this page, and we reply with the latest status.
