Many regulated goods need a Certificate of Conformity under the KEBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme, issued before shipment, so check your HS codes early. Customs entries go through the KenTrade single window with an Import Declaration Form. APIs and medicinal products require a Pharmacy and Poisons Board registered importer and an import permit for each consignment. Precursor chemicals need narcotics-control permits.

Questions

Specialty Chemicals for Kenya

Can Zemixal deliver specialty chemicals to Kenya?

Yes. We ship by sea to Mombasa and Lamu, by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a specialty chemicals shipment to Kenya?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to NEMA / KEBS (PVoC standards) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Kenya take?

Allow 12–18 days for ocean transit or 3–5 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

Can you supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?

Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.

Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?

For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
