Importing & exporting

Importing and exporting, managed end to end

For businesses bringing goods into Kenya or sending them out, we run the whole process so nothing falls between suppliers.

Trade often fails at the handoffs. The supplier, the shipping line, the clearing agent and the trucker each assume someone else is watching the paperwork.

We act as the single point of accountability across all of them: planning the shipment, checking compliance, booking freight, clearing customs and delivering, with updates at each step.

What we handle

  • Shipment planning and freight booking by sea, air or road
  • Pre-shipment compliance checks on goods, permits and documents
  • Import documentation and customs clearance
  • Export documentation and certificates for the destination market
  • Packing, consolidation and loading coordination
  • Cargo insurance guidance
  • Delivery to your premises, warehouse or buyer

Who this is for

  • First-time importers who want a clear plan before committing
  • Established traders who want fewer suppliers to manage
  • Exporters of produce and manufactured goods
  • Businesses importing for tenders and contracts

How it works

  1. Plan the shipment

    We review goods, route, timelines and terms (Incoterms), and flag permits or restrictions early.

  2. Check documents and compliance

    Invoices, certificates and approvals are verified before the goods ship, when fixes are cheap.

  3. Book freight

    We arrange sea, air or road freight to match your budget and deadline.

  4. Clear and move

    Customs clearance is handled at origin or destination, and cargo is moved to its final point.

  5. Close out

    You receive the full document set and a clear cost summary for your accounts.

What we typically ask you for

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Bill of lading or airway bill
  • Certificates required by the goods or destination market
  • Permits or approvals for regulated products

Frequently asked questions

Can you help if I am importing for the first time?

Yes. We walk you through what is needed, what it will cost and how long it usually takes, before you commit to a supplier or a shipment.

Do you handle exports to regional markets?

Yes. Tell us the destination and the goods and we will confirm the documents, route and timing.

What shipping terms should I use?

It depends on who should carry cost and risk at each stage. We explain the practical difference between common Incoterms before you agree terms with your supplier.

Can you source suppliers for me?

Our focus is the trade process: documents, compliance, freight, clearance and delivery. If you need sourcing support, tell us what you are after and we will say whether we can help.
