Where we ship from

Regular cargo routes into Kenya

We move cargo from these origins every month — by sea and by air. Importing a car? We also source vehicles from Japan and Thailand.

How it works

From your supplier to your door in four moves

  1. Tell us what you're shipping

    Send the cargo details or your supplier's invoice — by form, WhatsApp or a call.

  2. We quote and book

    One itemised quote covering freight, clearance and delivery. Nothing hidden.

  3. We clear at the port

    We lodge the customs entry, attend verification and follow your file to release.

  4. We deliver

    Your cargo rides our own trucks to your town, or you collect in Mombasa.

Small cargo? No problem.

You don't need a whole container

Most of our customers ship less than a container load. We consolidate your cartons with other clients' goods in a shared container, so you pay only for the space you use — the cheapest way to bring a few boxes from China, Dubai or anywhere else we sail from.

Why Afriton

What makes us different at the port

  • Direct importation

    We buy and ship for you straight from the origin market — no middle agents adding margins.

  • Based at the port

    Our office is minutes from Mombasa port. When your file needs a person at the counter, we're there.

  • Clearing and trucks under one roof

    The same company that clears your cargo delivers it — nothing is lost between agents.

  • Fast answers

    WhatsApp or call and a person replies — not a ticket system.

  • Itemised quotes

    You see freight, duty, port charges and delivery separately, agreed before work starts.

What clients say

Trusted by importers across Kenya

"I send two LCL shipments a month from Guangzhou. Afriton gives me one person to call, one invoice, and my goods reach my shop without me chasing anyone."

— Peter Mwangi, Electronics importer, Nairobi

"My car arrived from Japan and I did not know where to start. They cleared it, delivered it to my house and explained every charge before I paid."

— Amina Salim, Boutique owner, Mombasa

"What I like is the honesty. If a container will be delayed at the port, they tell me early instead of giving stories."

— David Otieno, Hardware trader, Kisumu

Questions

Common questions, straight answers

All FAQs
What documents do I need to clear cargo at Mombasa?

For most shipments you need the bill of lading or airway bill, a commercial invoice, a packing list and your KRA PIN. Some goods need extra permits — our document checklist covers the usual items.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL means your goods fill a whole container. LCL means your cargo shares a container with other customers and you pay only for the space you use — the cheapest option for small shipments.

How long does shipping to Kenya take?

Air freight takes days. Sea freight takes weeks depending on the origin — faster from the Gulf and Asia, longer from Europe and the US. We confirm the expected window when we quote.

Can you clear a car I already bought abroad?

Yes. Send us the bill of lading, invoice and export certificate and we take over the clearance at Mombasa, then deliver the car to you.

How do I pay?

We share an itemised quote before any work starts. Payment options include M-Pesa and bank transfer — confirmed on your invoice.
