How do I import a used excavator to Kenya?
Ship to Mombasa (28–32 days from Shanghai) with KEBS PVoC certification handled in-house. We manage the PVoC inspection and documents so the machine clears customs.
Kenya in one line
Used excavators clear Kenya through Mombasa port (28–32 days from Shanghai) under the KEBS PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) program — a mandatory pre-shipment inspection and certificate.
The PVoC process
- Inspection — the machine is inspected against Kenyan standards before export.
- Certificate — KEBS issues a Certificate of Conformity.
- Customs — the CoC, bill of lading, and invoice clear the machine at Mombasa.
We run this in-house, so you don't juggle inspectors or the KEBS platform. Send us the machine and we return a landed picture for Mombasa.
What is KEBS PVoC?
The Kenya Bureau of Standards Pre-Export Verification of Conformity — a mandatory certificate that verifies the machine meets Kenyan standards before it ships.
How long does Kenya import take?
28–32 days port-to-port from Shanghai to Mombasa, plus prep and PVoC on the front end and customs clearance on the back.
Do you handle the PVoC paperwork?
Yes — the inspection and certification are handled in-house as part of the order.
