❓ 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. Customs clearance is coordinated through our DDP Service (a customs and tax handling service, not Incoterms DDP).
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. Our DDP Service coordinates this customs and tax processing for both parties; it does not constitute Incoterms DDP.
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 our DDP Service handles the customs and tax processing for both parties.
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 as part of our DDP Service.
