Reliable Import and Export Services from Kenya to Austria
Send parcels to Austria From Kenya
Kenya and Austria are building new trade connections as global markets shift toward inclusive and diversified commerce. Kenya offers rich agricultural products, handmade goods, and natural cosmetics, while Austria contributes advanced machinery, medical equipment, and green technology.
While trade between the two countries is growing, there is still need for reliable logistics providers seamless trade. Wakah Logistics bridges this growing trade corridor with dependable logistics solutions. Whether you’re exporting Kenyan coffee to Vienna or importing Austrian pharmaceuticals into Nairobi, Wakah ensures timely, secure, and compliant delivery across borders.
What Kenya Can Export to Austria
Austria’s consumers favor sustainable and high-quality goods, making it a promising market for Kenyan exports. Products in demand include specialty coffee and tea, fresh produce like avocados and French beans, and cut flowers such as roses and carnations. Herbal wellness items, essential oils, black soap, and shea butter also align well with Austria’s eco-conscious trends.
Handicrafts, woven baskets, beaded jewelry, and handmade leather goods appeal to Austria’s ethical and artisan markets. Wakah supports exporters with cargo consolidation, cold-chain logistics, and export documentation including certificates of origin, phytosanitary clearance, and KEBS compliance.
Through air freight via major European hubs and LCL sea freight options, we deliver both small and bulk cargo reliably to Austrian cities like Vienna and Graz.
What Austria Can Export to Kenya
Kenyan industries increasingly rely on Austrian-made machinery and tools used in food processing, textiles, and precision manufacturing. Medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic devices also support Kenya’s growing healthcare sector.
Austria exports sustainable construction materials, energy-efficient building systems, solar technology, and cosmetics that are in demand among Kenyan urban consumers. High-end food and beverage items such as chocolates, wines, and gourmet meats find a niche market in Kenya’s hospitality sector.
Wakah facilitates end-to-end imports from Austria, handling everything from supplier sourcing and document verification to customs clearance and last-mile delivery in Kenya.
Freight Options Between Kenya and Austria
Air Freight is the preferred method for perishable, urgent, or high-value items. Shipments depart from Nairobi’s JKIA and arrive in Vienna via Frankfurt, Amsterdam, or Doha. Transit times range from 4 to 7 days.
Sea Freight is ideal for larger or non-urgent shipments. Containers depart from Mombasa and are routed through Rotterdam or Hamburg, then trucked or railed into Austria. Transit typically takes 30 to 40 days.
Multimodal Freight combines air and sea routes for cost-effective and timely delivery. Wakah handles routing, customs coordination, and delivery across each stage.
Customs, Documentation, and Compliance
For Kenyan exports, Wakah assists with commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, KEBS and KEPHIS clearance, and phytosanitary documentation. We also manage fair-trade or organic certification when required.
Austrian and EU import regulations require CE marking for machinery, REACH and RoHS compliance for chemicals, and multilingual labeling for food and cosmetics. Wakah coordinates with customs agents in Hamburg, Vienna, and Linz to ensure smooth processing.
Value-Added Logistics Services
Wakah provides optional cargo insurance, financing support through trade banks, bonded and general warehousing in Nairobi and Mombasa, and temporary storage in Rotterdam or Hamburg. We also offer packaging, labeling, palletizing, and compliance preparation for EU regulations.
Estimated Costs and Timelines
We recommend using LCL consolidation for small shipments and planning freight during off-peak months like February, May, and October to save on costs. Multimodal routes balance speed and affordability, depending on your cargo type and urgency.
