Send parcels to Kenya to Qatar

Although Qatar is a sandy nation, it is extremely rich and stands out as one of the richest countries in the world. Trade between Kenya and Qatar is growing daily with Kenya exporting agricultural products. Like wise, Qatar exports fertilizers, liquefied petroleum gas, plastics, and ethylene polymers to Kenya.

Qatar’s advanced infrastructure, vibrant construction sector, and appetite for fresh produce offer substantial opportunities for Kenyan exporters. This expanding commercial activity has made the Nairobi to Doha logistics route critical to sustaining bilateral trade.

Wakah Logistics stands at the center of this trade route as a trusted freight forwarder, offering end-to-end logistics support for companies and individuals shipping between Kenya and Qatar. In this article we have complied for you the key basics when shipping to and from Kenya and Qatar.

Bilateral Trade Opportunities

The trade relationship between Kenya and Qatar is growing thanks to stronger diplomatic ties and mutual investment initiatives. Qatar’s high purchasing power and reliance on food imports make it an attractive market for Kenyan agricultural products, while Kenya’s growing construction and energy sectors create demand for Qatari exports. As trade volumes continue to rise, both countries are exploring deeper partnerships and streamlined trade frameworks.

Kenya’s primary exports to Qatar include fresh avocados, mangoes, pineapples, cut flowers, specialty tea and coffee, livestock products, and organic herbs. In turn, Qatar exports refined petroleum, industrial fertilizers, plastics, aluminum, machinery, and industrial chemicals to Kenya. A growing trend in both markets is the rise of e-commerce and B2B platforms, which are facilitating the movement of electronics, fashion, and household goods.

Exporting from Kenya to Qatar

Wakah Logistics simplifies the export process from Kenya to Qatar. We begin with cargo collection from your farm, warehouse, or office anywhere in Kenya. Our team handles packaging with care, ensuring goods meet Qatar’s import standards. We prepare all necessary export documentation, including invoices, packing lists, export permits, certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates for produce, and halal certificates where required.

Once documentation is complete, we handle freight booking either air freight for speed or sea freight for cost-efficiency. Air shipments from Nairobi’s JKIA to Doha typically take two to five days and include cold-chain handling for perishable items. Sea freight, ideal for bulk cargo, takes 21 to 30 days and is available via consolidated or full container load options. Upon arrival in Qatar, our logistics partners facilitate customs clearance and final delivery.

Real-Life Export Case

A successful example is a Kiambu-based avocado exporter who ships bi-weekly air cargo to Doha retailers with Wakah’s support. We handle certification, packaging, and transportation, ensuring timely arrival and freshness that led to long-term business contracts.

Importing from Qatar to Kenya

For importers in Kenya sourcing goods from Qatar, Wakah handles everything from supplier communication to customs clearance. We help coordinate shipments of fuel derivatives, fertilizers, plastics, electronics, and industrial chemicals.

Our process includes supplier validation, Incoterms negotiation, pre-shipment inspections, and freight booking by air or sea. Upon arrival in Kenya via JKIA or Mombasa Port, we manage all import documentation, tax payments, and regulatory approvals before delivering goods to your door.

Freight Options and Pricing

We provide both full-container (FCL) and less-than-container (LCL) solutions. All costs, including documentation, repackaging, and any special handling fees, are disclosed transparently.

Compliance and Regulatory Guidance

Compliance is critical when trading between Kenya and Qatar. Kenyan exporters must meet KRA, KEBS, KEPHIS, and HCD requirements, including certificates for origin, quality, and phytosanitary compliance. Qatar’s import regulations require documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, halal certificates, and import licenses. Misdeclarations or incorrect HS codes can result in delays or fines. Wakah ensures full regulatory compliance on both ends.
