Shipping from Kenya to Belgium – Wakah Logistics Export & Import Guide

Shipping to Belgium involves several considerations from choosing the right logistics partner to selecting the right shipping option for your needs. This is due to that fact that Belgium is a key member state of the European Union.

Wakah Logistics connects Kenya and Belgium through end-to-end freight services including air and sea transport, multimodal routing, warehousing, customs clearance, and real-time cargo tracking. Ideal for exporters, importers, e-commerce sellers, and diaspora shipments, this guide shows how Wakah makes shipping efficient and hassle-free.

Trade Dynamics Between Kenya and Belgium

Trade flows between Kenya and Belgium have shown consistent growth in recent years, supported by Kenya’s inclusion in the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreement and Belgium’s role as a major European logistics hub. Kenya exports premium tea, coffee, flowers, fresh produce, leather products, and organic cosmetics into Belgian markets. In turn, Belgium exports medical devices, industrial tools, chemicals, processed foods, and consumer goods to Kenya.

Wakah Logistics facilitates this two-way corridor by managing cargo flows from Nairobi or Mombasa to Belgian cities like Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and back again via trusted global shipping partners.

Kenyan Exports to Belgium

Kenyan staples such as specialty tea and Arabica coffee, fresh produce including avocados, snow peas and mangoes, cut flowers, handcrafted leather goods, sisal bags and ethical textiles, as well as botanical skincare products, increasingly find markets in Belgium.

Wakah ensures these exports are handled safely via air cargo from JKIA or sea shipments via Mombasa, with necessary permits, phytosanitary checks, EUR.1 certificates, KEBS certifications, and EU-compliant labeling included.

Belgian Imports into Kenya

Belgium’s major exports to Kenya include precision medical devices, pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery and automation tools. More imports include chemical reagents, packaged gourmet foods and beverages such as chocolates and specialty beer, as well as electronics and construction materials.

Wakah manages seamless import paths from Belgian ports or airports straight through Kenyan customs and efficiently to final destinations such as Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, or Mombasa.

Supporting E‑Commerce and SME Logistics

With growing cross-border transactions in niche and e-commerce goods, Wakah offers services tailored to SMEs and online businesses. These include low-volume cargo consolidation, cold-chain packaging for perishables, customized labeling, direct delivery tracking, and last-mile distribution within Kenyan cities.

Export Process from Kenya to Belgium

Wakah begins by arranging cargo collection from cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret. Following that, shipments are professionally packaged, labeled, and documented. Kenyan export clearance is handled fully electronically, including registration via KenTrade, HS code classification, and regulatory checks.

Clients may choose air freight for urgent deliveries or sea freight via European ports for volume cargo. Shared-container (LCL) options are available for cost efficiency. Once in Belgium, Wakah’s local partners manage customs clearance and final delivery to key cities.

Import Procedures from Belgium to Kenya

For goods sourced from Belgian exporters, Wakah coordinates supplier verification, pre-shipment inspections, and compliance with Kenyan standards. Freight options include air cargo via Brussels with transit times of 5–9 days. The sea freight is via Antwerp and Mombasa with transit of approximately 30–45 days.

Kenyan customs clearance is handled end-to-end—IDF filing, tariff classification, VAT collection, and liaising with regulatory agencies like KEBS and Pharmacy and Poisons Board. Final deliveries are made via truck or courier to cities across Kenya.
