At Link Way Logistics Ltd, we are experts in navigating the specific documentation requirements of Kenya’s import and export regulations. With Kenya positioned as a key trade hub within the East African region, ensuring accurate, compliant documentation is crucial for businesses to maintain smooth, uninterrupted trade. Our team understands the local regulatory environment, from customs protocols to government agency approvals, allowing us to streamline your cargo movement through Kenyan ports and borders effectively.
Customs Declarations
Our team prepares and submits customs declarations in full compliance with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) guidelines, the East African Community Customs Union (EACCU) regulations, and the World Customs Organization (WCO) standards. This ensures that your goods clear Kenyan customs efficiently, with minimal delays or penalties.
Bills of Lading and Shipping Manifests
As Kenya is a major regional gateway for landlocked countries, proper documentation is critical. We handle and verify Bills of Lading and shipping manifests, ensuring they meet Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and KRA standards for smooth entry and exit at the Mombasa and Lamu ports.
Certificates of Origin and Commercial Invoices
For Kenyan exports, the certificate of origin is essential to qualify for preferential trade tariffs in key markets such as COMESA and EAC countries. We facilitate the accurate preparation and authentication of certificates of origin and commercial invoices, providing your goods with smooth access to regional and international markets.
Packing Lists
Accurate packing lists are essential for customs inspections in Kenya. Our team prepares comprehensive, detailed packing lists to ensure smooth inspections and to support faster customs clearance, reducing delays at key transit points.
Import/Export Permits and Licenses
In Kenya, certain goods, such as pharmaceuticals, food products, and electronics, require permits from relevant regulatory bodies such as the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. We handle the acquisition of necessary permits and licenses, ensuring that your goods comply with Kenyan import/export regulations and reach their destination without hitches.
Compliance and Regulatory Advice
Our team stays up-to-date on regulatory changes, such as VAT and duty adjustments in line with Kenya’s annual budget. We advise clients on tariff classifications, customs valuation, and other regulatory requirements, helping them navigate Kenya’s customs and trade protocols with confidence.
