Kenya Import Compliance
DDP Shipping Compliance for Kenya
Kenya has strict import regulations enforced by KEBS and KRA. We ensure your cargo meets all requirements before leaving China.
PVoC / CoC
Most goods require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) issued by authorized agents (e.g., SGS, Intertek) in China prior to shipment to avoid penalties.
IDF Generation
An Import Declaration Form (IDF) must be applied for through the KRA Trade-Facilitation portal before the cargo is shipped.
KRA PIN
The importer or consignee in Kenya must have a valid Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) PIN to process the customs clearance.
Accurate HS Codes
We rigorously verify HS codes to calculate accurate Import Duty (ranging from 0% to 35%+), VAT, and RDL, ensuring smooth clearance.
