Why Triple A

One Price. Zero Surprises.

Most UK freight companies quote a low rate for excess baggage to Kenya and then invoice you separately for customs clearance, handling fees and import duties when your cargo arrives at Mombasa Port or Nairobi ICD. You have no choice but to pay.

Triple A does it differently. Our rate covers everything — UK collection, air or sea freight, KRA customs clearance via Azaanex Holdings Ltd, all import duties, VAT 16%, IDF 3.5%, RDL 2%, and door-to-door delivery to your address in Kenya.

What we quote is what you pay. No port agent. No clearance broker. No second invoice.

Use our Southall warehouse as your UK delivery address when shopping from any UK retailer — whether you're buying everyday essentials, online shopping from Amazon, eBay, or ASOS, or ordering for Christmas, Eid, Black Friday, Boxing Day, Ramadan, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, or back-to-school season.

Airline Comparison

Cheaper Than Airline Excess Baggage to Kenya from UK

Why is excess baggage to Kenya from UK so expensive on airlines? Airlines charge a flat fee per extra bag regardless of what it weighs — then you still clear it through KRA yourself on arrival. Here's the honest comparison.

❌ The airline experience

💸 Kenya Airways charges £80–£150 per extra bag — that's £30–50/kg

⚖️ Strict 23kg or 32kg limit per bag — overweight fees on top

🛃 You clear bags yourself at JKIA — separate KRA agent fees

😓 Queues, stress, overweight surprises at check-in

💰 Hidden VAT, IDF and RDL charges you pay on arrival in Kenya

✅ The Triple A experience

£6.99/kg all-inclusive air freight — or £2.50/kg sea

No weight limit per bag — ship 1kg or 100kg

KRA clearance included via Azaanex Holdings Ltd — no separate agent

Travel light — drop off at Southall or we collect

VAT + IDF + RDL all included — zero charges on arrival
