FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines air freight transit time from the USA to Kenya?
Transit time depends on the departure gateway, the carrier’s schedule and frequency on the lane, the commodity, and how quickly clearance is completed on arrival. We quote the transit for your specific shipment rather than a generic figure.
How is air freight from the USA to Kenya priced?
Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, plus origin handling, security screening, and destination charges. Duties and taxes are assessed separately by the authorities. We quote the all-in cost for your shipment before booking.
What Kenyan customs requirements apply?
Clearance is handled by KRA. The consignee needs a KRA PIN and an Import Declaration Form lodged in iCMS. Prohibited and restricted imports are set out in the Second and Third Schedules to the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004, published by KRA; restricted items clear only against a permit from the responsible regulator.
Which Kenya airports receive air freight from the USA?
We route through Nairobi (NBO), Mombasa (MBA), Eldoret (EDL), with onward delivery beyond the gateway.
Is pre-shipment certification required?
KEBS runs the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity programme: regulated goods must be inspected in the country of export and travel with a Certificate of Conformity. Consignments arriving without one are routed to destination inspection at the importer’s cost.
Is there a trade agreement between the USA and Kenya?
Goods are assessed under the East African Community Common External Tariff (there is no US-Kenya free trade agreement).
What documents are needed?
Commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill, Import Declaration Form lodged electronically in KRA iCMS, and a KEBS Certificate of Conformity for regulated goods.
What else should I plan for on this lane?
Jomo Kenyatta International operates at the limit of its handling capacity during the January and February cut-flower export peak, when congestion controls can be applied.
