SEA FREIGHT RATES

As well as air freight, KeBay is now also shipping via sea from Germany to Nairobi, Kenya. It's much cheaper than air freight & previously banned items on air freight are now permitted via sea such as perfumes and oils. 

It can take between 6 to 8 weeks in total, depending on sea conditions and whether the ships pass by the straights of Hormuz or via South Africa.

The container leaves Germany once it fills up, which is approximately once every two weeks. 

We charge volumetric weight or actual weight, whichever is higher. The formula is width X length X height divided by 6000 gives you volumetric weight. If in any doubt, please contact us first before ordering.

Sea freight fees from Germany to Nairobi are inclusive of import fees and foreign exchange charges. For insurance please read our terms & conditions.

1 Kg to 50 kg is €4.75/kg
50 kg to 100 kgs is €4.50/kg
Over 100 kgs is €4.25/kg

Minimum Charge: €4.75 at one kilogram
