Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

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

Yes. Oval 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.
