Appliances Shipping Cost from Port-au-Prince to Nairobi

Shipping a 20-foot container to Kenya typically costs $4,500–$7,900; 40-foot containers range from $6,800–$11,200 depending on origin. Average delivery to Mombasa or Nairobi ports takes 5–8 weeks, including ocean transit, customs clearance, and inland coordination.

Yes, Amazon ships to Kenya, but not for all products, often requiring you to use freight forwarders like Kentex Cargo or Arab Africa Cargo, who provide US addresses and handle logistics for a fee, making it easier and sometimes cheaper for electronics and other items Amazon doesn't directly ship. Direct Amazon shipping can be expensive, have long times, and encounter "can't ship" errors, so freight forwarders offer assisted purchasing, package consolidation, and customs clearance.

Average sea freight transit: 30-45 days via Port of Mombasa. 2025 updates: Kenya's digital customs, US-Kenya trade pact lowers duties. Tips: Use FCL for bulk, LCL for small loads; track via IoT-enabled containers.
