✅ Kenya Air Freight Checklist

  • Confirm whether the Kenya rate includes fuel and security surcharges or lists them separately.
  • Lithium batteries and liquids need pre-approval on most air routes — declare them upfront.
  • Compare volumetric weight (L×W×H÷6000) with actual weight — the higher one is billed.
  • Keep single cartons under 30 KG for air handling to Kenya to avoid overweight surcharges.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Air DDP Cleared from China to Kenya take?

Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 7–21 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.

What duties and taxes apply when importing into Kenya?

Clearance is handled by the national customs service. The regime is: Import VAT + duty 5–35%; PSI common, with a de-minimis position of No practical de-minimis. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.

Can you ship special cargo (batteries, branded goods) to Kenya?

Yes — battery cargo by air follows IATA PI966/PI967; we run certified battery channels via the primary international airport. Brand-goods and DG paperwork are handled within the DDP service. Surcharges apply.

In what currency is this route priced and paid?

Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is USD. Payment is typically due before departure, and DDP means you settle the full landed cost once.

How is the shipping cost on this route calculated?

We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000) and charge the greater, rounded up to the next kilogram, then apply the per-KG rate shown in the table above.

What documents are required for customs clearance in Kenya?

the national customs service typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate). We file these under DDP.
