Clearance Process (Mombasa / Nairobi / JKIA)

This is how we handle the customs clearance process step by step:

  1. We ask you to share documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, BL/AWB, and permits if any are required.
  2. We calculate an estimate for duties and IDF. We ensure that we use correct HS code, IDF submission, and you get a clear duty/levy beakdown.
  3. We then coordinate with relevant parties for entries and inspections. Your imports are cleared and released. We also minimize storage at the port/CFS/ICD.
  4. We then arrange for a last-mile delivery or hand-over at port/ICD of your choice.
