Send Parcels to San Marino
Shipping from Kenya to San Marino can be challenging due to San Marino’s status as a country. San Marino is a landlocked microstate that depends on Italy for its shipping processes.

This means that all international shipments have pass through a port of entry in Italy.
It is this critical dependency on Italy that makes the process complicated as the shipper has to understand the regulations of Italy and Sammarinese.
