We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Minimums to Kenya vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Kenya.
