Your Trusted Import Agent in Kenya
End-to-End China to Kenya Import Services
Our operations team is based in Chengdu, China. We handle everything from supplier vetting and price negotiation to shipping and delivery in Nairobi, so you can focus on selling.
Product Sourcing
Most import agents search Alibaba and stop there. We go deeper. Our team in Chengdu sources from Pinduoduo and 1688, China’s domestic wholesale platforms, where factory prices are significantly lower. That difference goes straight into your margins.
We vet suppliers on the ground, compare prices across factories, and only present options we have confirmed. No guessing whether the supplier is real. No quality surprises when goods land in Nairobi.
Negotiation & Deals
Suppliers give their best prices to buyers they trust and see regularly. Because our team is physically in Chengdu and works across multiple clients, we carry volume leverage that a single buyer messaging from Nairobi simply cannot match.
We negotiate pricing, minimum order quantities, lead times, and payment terms on your behalf. The price we quote is the final price. Every cost included. No handling fees added at the end.
Shipping Logistics
End-to-end shipping from your supplier in China to our Nairobi warehouse. Every quote includes import duty, VAT, IDF, RDL, and customs clearance. No surprise bills when your goods arrive.
🚢 Sea: 65,000 ksh/CBM. 30 to 35 days. Best for bulk where cost per unit matters.
Already have a supplier? We handle shipping-only orders too. Use the shipping calculator for an instant estimate.
Custom Orders
Your logo on a product. A colour or size that does not exist off the shelf. A private-label line for your store. We work directly with manufacturers to produce custom orders from your brief to Nairobi delivery.
Our Chengdu team manages production, reviews samples before full production starts, and keeps you updated at each stage. Common requests include branded packaging, custom apparel, private-label skincare, and bespoke product configurations.
Consultation
Not sure if a product is worth importing? Trying to figure out duty rates, margins, or whether a supplier is trustworthy? Our consultations give you direct answers from people who do this every day, not generic advice from a blog post.
A typical session covers which platform to source from, realistic landed costs, Kenya duty rates for your product category, and how to price for profit. We do it over WhatsApp or a call, whichever works for you.
