Appliances Shipping Cost from Rotterdam 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.

Full Container Load (FCL) Rates: 20-foot Container: $2,800-$3,500 to major West African ports. 40-foot Container: $4,900-$5,850 depending on destination and season. 40-foot High Cube: $5,200-$6,100 for extra height requirements.

Air cargo prices per kg vary widely, typically ranging from $4 to $12+ USD, but can be cheaper for heavy freight or on dense routes, and much higher during peak seasons or for urgent shipments, influenced by route, fuel, demand, and weight (often using volumetric weight). Expect lower rates for large, heavy shipments on high-traffic routes (like $1-3/kg), while smaller or urgent shipments on less common lanes might cost $10-$20+/kg or more.
