Are you a machinery dealer in Kenya?

No. We import machines for Kenyan buyers: sourced in the USA, shipped to Mombasa, cleared through the KRA. No stock, no sales lot.

How does origin inspection help with Kenya's KEBS PVoC?

Route A of the KEBS PVoC program verifies used machinery by inspection in the country of origin, so it happens in the USA before the machine sails, alongside our own pre-shipment checks. The resulting Certificate of Conformity is used at clearance.

Who confirms Kenya import duty and used-age admissibility?

Your licensed Kenyan clearing agent, per shipment. Kenya applies an age limit of roughly 8 years to some vehicle categories, so admissibility is verified for each machine along with the KRA duty line and import VAT.

Equipment We Ship to Kenya

What You Need to Know

Kenya at a glance: machinery enters through Mombasa and moves inland to Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret; ocean transit from US ports typically runs 7-11 weeks depending on export port, load format and carrier routing, with the exact schedule confirmed at booking; container, flat-rack and open-top formats all serve the route. Compliance in brief: KEBS requires pre-export conformity verification for used machinery (inspected at origin under Route A) and the KRA taxes the entry — the working detail sits on our Kenya farm-tractor and heavy-equipment import pages.
