FAQs
Sea Freight to Kenya from UK — Common Questions
How long does sea freight from UK to Kenya take?
Sea freight from UK to Kenya takes 40–45 days door-to-door. This includes ocean transit to Mombasa Port, KRA customs clearance by Azaanex, and final delivery to your Kenya address. Routing and exact transit time are confirmed at booking. For urgent shipments, our air freight service delivers in 3–5 days from £6.99/kg.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL sea freight?
LCL (Less than Container Load) means you share a container with other shippers — ideal for shipments from 50kg at £2.50/kg all-inclusive. FCL (Full Container Load) means the entire 20ft or 40ft container is exclusively yours — best for large commercial shipments or full household moves. FCL starts at £2,200 for a 20ft container or £3,200 for a 40ft container.
Will I have to pay customs duties separately when my container arrives in Kenya?
No. Triple A's LCL sea freight rate is genuinely all-inclusive. KRA customs duties — VAT 16%, Import Declaration Fee 3.5%, Railway Development Levy 2% — and Azaanex clearance fees are all covered. Many UK freight companies use third-party clearance models that result in an unexpected invoice at Mombasa. With Triple A, what you're quoted is what you pay.
What is the minimum shipment for sea freight?
The minimum for LCL sea freight is 10kg. Below 10kg, our air freight at £6.99/kg is usually more cost-effective given the 40-day sea transit. We're happy to advise which service suits your shipment best — just WhatsApp us.
Can I send perfumes, oils and liquids by sea freight?
Yes — sea freight accepts many items that cannot go by air, including perfumes, colognes, oils, aerosols, and paints. These travel safely in sea containers. Please contact us to confirm your specific items before booking.
How often do containers depart for Kenya?
Triple A guarantees two container loadings per month from our London Southall warehouse. Contact us for the next available loading date and cut-off deadline for your goods.
Can I ship household goods and furniture to Kenya by sea?
Yes — sea freight is ideal for expatriate relocations, returning residents with household goods and furniture. A one-bedroom worth of goods will typically fit in an LCL shipment; a larger home may need a full 20ft FCL container. Returning residents may also qualify for duty exemptions on personal effects — Azaanex can advise during the clearance process.
Can I use Triple A's Southall warehouse as my UK delivery address?
Yes. Have any UK retailer — Amazon, eBay, ASOS, Argos, John Lewis, IKEA — deliver to: Unit Z01, Canal Yard, Hayes Road, Southall, UB2 5NA. We receive it, weigh it, and consolidate it into the next sea freight container. Contact us to set this up.
How much does it cost to ship a barrel by Sea Freight to Kenya from the UK?
Triple A charges £160 per 220-litre barrel — shipping only (barrel not included). This covers sea freight from our London Southall warehouse to Mombasa, KRA customs clearance via Azaanex Holdings Ltd, excluding door-to-door delivery across Kenya. Transit is 40–45 days. Drop your packed barrel at our London Southall warehouse or arrange collection.
Can I buy a shipping container in Kenya through Triple A?
Yes. We supply used, shipping-ready containers across Kenya — 20ft from £900 and 40ft from £1,500. These are ideal for storage, site offices, or container conversions. Contact us for availability and delivery to your location in Kenya.
