Who we are
Kenya Tradex is a logistics company focused on helping clients move cargo through Kenya and into surrounding regional markets. We work with importers, exporters, manufacturers, traders, project cargo teams and businesses that need practical support across freight forwarding, customs processing, storage and onward cargo movement.
Our operating focus is built around the major cargo gateways in Mombasa and Nairobi, supported by an understanding of the transport and customs processes that connect Kenya to inland East and Central African destinations.
What we do
- Freight forwarding: Ocean freight (FCL & LCL), air freight, customs clearance and cargo planning for imports and exports.
- Customs clearance: Support for import, export and transit cargo documentation and customs coordination.
- Warehousing and handling: Storage support, cargo staging and distribution planning linked to shipment needs.
- Overland and cross-border logistics: Cargo movement planning for Kenya and regional corridor destinations.
- Project logistics: Coordination for oversized, heavy and specialized cargo requirements.

Editorial and operational review approach
Kenya Tradex service pages and trade guides are written for practical decision-making by importers, exporters and regional cargo teams. Guidance is reviewed against real customs, freight and corridor workflows so the content stays useful for shipment planning rather than reading like generic logistics copy.
- Customs-file focus: Articles explain the documents, approvals and timing issues that usually affect release.
- Route-specific guidance: Content separates Mombasa port, Nairobi ICD, JKIA air cargo and regional transit movement instead of treating all cargo the same.
- Commercial usefulness: Pages connect the explanation to next steps, quote requirements and documents a client should prepare.
