Used heavy equipment from the USA · Kenya
Weight and dimensions rule a heavy-equipment move to Mombasa: they pick flat rack, open-top or container, and set most of the freight bill. We import used US machines to Kenya and sell none of them — no stock, no showroom. Each unit is verified at origin, where KEBS PVoC Route A expects used-machinery conformity checked anyway.
Meridian handles the machine until it clears the vessel at Mombasa. Entry, classification and every Kenya-side cost stay with your licensed agent.
Process
Four steps from the US yard to Mombasa. Weight and dimensions come first, because they decide the load format, the handling and most of the freight bill.
The listing plus weight, length, width and height. With those four numbers we can plan the move; without them, nobody can price it honestly.
Undercarriage, hours, condition and completeness, verified where the machine sits. The same visit window covers Kenya's origin-based conformity step.
The real dimensions pick the format. We handle oversize and heavy-lift arrangements at origin and book the Mombasa sailing accordingly.
A licensed clearing agent files with the KRA and walks the machine through Mombasa. You get the machine after clearance, not a storage bill at the port.
Scope
We separate the international leg we control from the local costs and formalities your clearing agent confirms.
Quote
With the machine's real numbers we can commit to a load format and a Mombasa price rather than a range that protects us, not you.
Share the machine and the destination; we send back the scope of the international leg in writing.
Local compliance
The Kenya figures never come from us. A licensed Kenyan clearing agent confirms the exact duty line and used-age admissibility for your specific machine against the current Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) tariff before you commit funds. Imports must meet Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) requirements under the PVoC program, with conformity verified by inspection in the country of origin and a Certificate of Conformity required to clear. A roughly 8-year age limit applies to some vehicle categories, and import VAT and other charges may apply.
Meridian has coordinated more than 1,000 exports to more than 40 countries.
