Customs clearance in Kenya
Entries and declarations on KRA's iCMS, tariff classification, duty and VAT payment, and permits from KEBS, KEPHIS, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and other agencies.
From port to doorstep.
Africon Sea clears your cargo at Mombasa, the inland depots and JKIA, then delivers it on our own trucks to your door in Kenya, or across the border to Kigali, Goma and Bukavu.

Everything between the ship and your store
One licensed agent for the paperwork, the duties, the border and the truck. You deal with one contact from the moment your cargo lands until it is offloaded at your premises.
Air cargo clearance
Fast release of air freight at JKIA, Moi International Airport and other entry points, for urgent, high-value and perishable consignments.
Transit to Rwanda and the DRC
Transit entries, EAC customs bonds, RECTS electronic seals and border coordination at Malaba, Busia, Gatuna and Rusizi, with cargo tracked until delivery.
Trucking on our own fleet
Our own trucks carry containers and loose cargo from the port, depots and airports to your premises, so we control pickup times, security and cost.
Cargo consolidation
Shipping less than a full load? We combine smaller consignments into shared containers and trucks, so you pay only for the space you use.
Logistics and freight forwarding
Route and transport planning, warehousing coordination, port and CFS release, and shipping line formalities, managed end to end.
Kenya and the Northern Corridor
We clear local consignments anywhere in Kenya and move transit cargo along the Northern Corridor from Mombasa to Rwanda and the eastern DRC.
Every transit shipment travels under an electronic seal and a customs bond, and we update you at release, departure, each border and delivery.

How a shipment moves with us
The same seven steps for every consignment, with a named contact keeping you updated throughout.
Pre-arrival
We check your bill of lading or air waybill, invoice and packing list, and confirm permits.
Quotation
An itemised quote for fees, port charges, bond and transport before the cargo lands.
Lodgement
We lodge the import or transit entry on iCMS and execute any bond.
Release
Cargo is cleared from the port, CFS or airport, with verification if required.
Dispatch
It leaves on our truck, sealed under RECTS for transit cargo.
Border crossing
For transit, we handle exit and entry formalities at each border.
Delivery
Your cargo arrives, any bond is cancelled, and you get a full statement of account.
Why importers choose Africon Sea
We built the company around the things that go wrong most often in clearing and forwarding: surprise charges, silence, and cargo stuck waiting for a truck.
Transparent pricing
Itemised quotes before your cargo arrives and a full statement of account at closure. No hidden charges.
One point of contact
A single account manager follows your cargo from arrival to final destination and answers the same business day.
Kenya and corridor specialists
We focus on Kenyan clearance and the Kenya, Rwanda and DRC routes, so we know the documents, checkpoints and common delays.
Updates you don't have to chase
Milestone notifications by email, phone and WhatsApp at release, departure, each border and delivery.
We own the trucks
Most agents clear your cargo and then wait for a hired truck. We move it ourselves, which means fewer handovers, better cargo security and a delivery time we can actually commit to. In busy periods we add vetted, insured transporters.
