INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

China to Kenya Shipping and Import Logistics

Reliable cargo planning starts with understanding your goods, shipping requirements and final delivery destination.

Imports from China can involve different cargo volumes, transport arrangements, supplier requirements and customs documentation. The appropriate shipping arrangement depends on the type of goods, cargo dimensions and weight, shipment origin, destination and the agreed commercial terms.

Swiftwins Carriers and Forwarders LTD works with customers to assess their shipping requirements and coordinate the relevant logistics services. Depending on the shipment and agreed scope, this may include freight forwarding, less-than-container-load (LCL) shipping, full-container-load (FCL) shipping, customs clearance coordination and inland transportation within Kenya.

Whether you are sourcing commercial stock, equipment, machinery or business supplies, provide your cargo details so the applicable shipping options and requirements can be reviewed before arrangements are confirmed.
