Mombasa Port: East Africa’s busiest port, handling over 90% of Kenya’s imports, with transit times averaging 28–33 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen.

Duty payment (we provide upfront estimates, with rates varying by product category—many goods qualify for reduced tariffs under EAC rules, and essential items may be exempt).
Agricultural Machinery to Nairobi: A farming cooperative in Nairobi sourced 360+ items from 6 Chinese cities (Ningbo, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha, Yiwu, Wuhan), including tractors, irrigation systems, and crop processing tools. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 5 days, shipped via CIF terms to Mombasa Port in a 40ft container, and coordinated SGR transport to Nairobi. The shipment arrived in 31 days, saving 32% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.
Retail Merchandise to Mombasa: A chain of supermarkets in Mombasa needed textiles from Shanghai, electronics from Shenzhen, and household goods from Yiwu.
