CONTACT US FOR A FULL LIST OF ALL PROHIBITED ITEMS . Inspections in Kenya have become thorough, detailed, strict, and all standards are being enforced. To avoid additional charges, we advise the following; Do not pack any food, cosmetics, medicine/supplements - anything thing that goes IN or ON the human body . These items require additional tests. If you omit informing us of such items will lead to extra charges to you - usually 100% of any charge and delay cost that will arise due to you cargo not meeting regulation. Electrical/electronic items are also regulated - we advise before you purchase an item, consult with us for direction. There has been enforcement on used clothes and shoes in boxes and bags - we handle these on a container to container basis.

The most important part is to make sure you pack you items properly, use the right packaging, protect your cargo inside the package with other media and seal it properly. Is this your first time preparing a shipment? Our simplest answer - use the packaging you think will protect the items with a zero possibility of any damage to the items inside. For example, We advise you to use heavy duty plastic boxes to ship fragile items and boxes for cargo that cannot be damaged due to stacking. Always remember, although we always carefully handle your cargo, there is a need for items to be stacked tight into the container. Items not properly packed tend to shift inside the package causing damage - always make sure your items cannot shift. Feel free to contact us if you have any other packaging questions.
