Ship Machinery to Kenya
Meridian Freight exports used machinery from the USA and Canada to Mombasa, Kenya's largest port and the gateway to East Africa. Sourcing, origin inspection, export documents and ocean freight run as one project; your clearing agent handles the KRA entry. We're the exporter, not a dealer.

What You Need to Know
Kenya at a glance: machinery enters through Mombasa and moves inland to Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret; current carrier rates show 47-57 days from US ports and 74 days by 40HC from the Chicago rail ramp, and the exact schedule depends on export port, load format and carrier routing and is confirmed at booking; container, flat-rack and open-top formats all serve the route. Compliance in brief: the USA is outside KEBS's PVoC programme, so KEBS inspects used machinery from the USA at the Kenyan port of entry (destination inspection) and the KRA taxes the entry — the working detail sits on our Kenya farm-tractor and heavy-equipment import pages.
