Why Kenya needs custom preforms

Kenya is East Africa's commercial hub. Mombasa port serves Kenya and the landlocked markets beyond it, Nairobi hosts regional head offices and most manufacturers, and agriculture, from tea and flowers to maize and dairy, still employs most of the workforce.

Water, soft-drink, juice and edible-oil bottlers blow preforms into bottles on site, which saves most of the freight cost of shipping empty bottles.

Indicative sea transit from Mundra or Kandla (Gujarat) to Mombasa is about 12–22 days, plus production and inland time. The confirmed schedule is given in the quotation.

What does custom preforms cost in Kenya?

Price depends on the size, grade, quantity and packing of the custom preforms you need, so we quote per enquiry in USD, which your bank converts to Kenyan shilling. Mixed-product containers usually lower the landed cost per item.

What import rules apply to custom preforms in Kenya?

Import duty plus VAT under the EAC Common External Tariff. Regulated products need a Certificate of Conformity under the KEBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Kenya?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Kenya, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Kenya?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
