Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Kenya?

For 300 KG to Kenya, LCL (shared container) sea freight is typically the right choice unless your cargo exceeds 5–6 CBM or you're shipping regularly. FCL (full 20-foot container) becomes economical above approximately 15,000–18,000 KG. Our team can calculate which option gives you the best rate for your specific cargo dimensions.

Are batteries allowed on Air Freight to Kenya?

Battery shipments via air freight to Kenya are accepted but require special handling. Built-in batteries (in devices) must follow IATA PI966/PI967 regulations. Standalone lithium batteries require separate classification. We have dedicated battery channels with appropriate certification. Surcharges typically add USD 3–8/KG over standard rates.

What documents are required for customs clearance in Kenya?

For customs clearance in Kenya, you typically need: (1) Commercial Invoice showing buyer, seller, HS codes, and declared value; (2) Packing List with dimensions and weights; (3) Bill of Lading or Airway Bill; (4) Certificate of Origin (may qualify for preferential duty rates); (5) Any product-specific certifications.

Freight charges are quoted and invoiced in USD. Payment is typically required before shipment departure. We accept bank transfer (T/T), PayPal, and other methods on a case-by-case basis. DDP means you pay the full landed cost upfront — no additional charges at destination in Kenya.

Can I track my shipment from China to Kenya?

Yes — all shipments include tracking. Air freight shipments receive an airway bill number (AWB) for real-time airline tracking within 24 hours of departure. Sea freight shipments are trackable via the bill of lading number through the carrier's portal. We provide status updates at key milestones: departure, port of entry, customs clearance, and delivery.

Minimum shipment sizes vary by channel: Air freight DDP channels typically accept from 21 KG (some from 12 KG). Sea freight LCL is usually priced from 1 CBM.
