Why Triple A for Commercial Cargo
What Most UK–Kenya Freight Forwarders Don't Tell You
Most companies quote a low per-kg rate and then invoice separately for KRA clearance on arrival. That second invoice can add KES 50,000–450,000 to your shipment. Triple A doesn't work that way.
Named KRA Clearing Agent — Not a Mystery Broker
Azaanex Holdings Ltd is our named, KRA-licensed sister company in Nairobi. We don't sub-contract clearance to unknown third parties. You know exactly who is clearing your goods before you book.
One Invoice. One Price. Zero Surprises.
Our rate includes all KRA duties, VAT (16%), IDF (3.5%), RDL (2%), and port handling. What you're quoted is what you pay. We have never issued a surprise clearance invoice.
KEBS PVoC Managed in the UK
KEBS PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) must be done before your goods leave the UK. We coordinate inspection, documentation, and CoC issuance from our Southall warehouse. You don't need to navigate KEBS from Kenya.
UK–Kenya EPA Routing
We advise on EPA eligibility and correct HS code declaration at the UK export stage, so your goods benefit from reduced KRA import duties where applicable. UK-origin goods can attract materially lower rates than equivalent imports from China or UAE.
Multi-Supplier UK Collection
Sourcing from multiple UK suppliers or wholesalers? We collect from their premises, consolidate at Southall, and ship as a single consignment. One clearance, one delivery, one invoice.
Pallet Shipping Accepted
Palletised commercial cargo is accepted directly at our Southall warehouse. Standard euro pallets and custom pallet sizes handled. We advise on export-grade packing requirements for sea freight.
