Deadlines
Documents to be presented to us at least four days prior to arrival of the shipment. This is a measure aimed at avoiding incurring additional expenses, i.e. storage charges payable to Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), demurrage charges payable to the shipping line and warehouse charges payable to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Containerized cargo should be cleared from the terminal within four days. However for Client nominated cargo, the terms of clearance are quite flexible.
CFS charges are settled upon obtaining release from KRA, Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) and PORT HEALTH where applicable among others.
On completion of all required procedures, gate pass is issued to the clearing agents allowing them to load the cargos for final delivery to the consignees.
