Reliable Shipping from Kenya to Singapore: The Ultimate Guide
Send parcels to Singapore from Kenya
Kenya and Singapore may be worlds apart, but their trade relationship is growing stronger and stronger yearly. Singapore’s role as a global financial and e-commerce hub opens up extensive trade opportunities for Kenyan exporters. On the other side, Kenya’s expanding agriculture and manufacturing sectors perfectly suits Singapore’s demanding markets.
Ensuring smooth and reliable logistics between the two countries is crucial for maximizing these opportunities. Whether your an individual looking to send personal items to loved ones in Singapore or looking to receive from them, a reliable logistics provider is essential.
At Wakah Logistics, we provide efficient, secure, and compliant freight solutions for businesses, traders, and individuals shipping between Kenya and Singapore. From cold chain exports of perishables to high-value imports like electronics and pharmaceuticals, our end-to-end logistics support ensures that your cargo is handled with speed, accuracy, and care. In this article, we have complied the basics of everything you need to know about shipping from Kenya to Singapore.
Kenya And Singapore Trade Relations
Kenya serves as a trade gateway to East Africa, while Singapore is recognized globally for its innovation, logistics infrastructure, and export facilitation. Their growing trade relationship is built on mutual interest in technology, agriculture, and global value chains.
Kenya’s top exports to Singapore include premium tea, coffee, flowers, macadamia nuts, and halal-certified livestock products. Singapore, in return, supplies Kenya with electronics, industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and packaged food. This dynamic exchange is powered by expanding sectors such as argic-tech, fintech, e-commerce, and supply chain optimization creating new opportunities for exporters and importers alike.
Exporting from Kenya to Singapore with Wakah Logistics
We make international shipping easy, whether you’re exporting a few cartons of roses or full containers of machinery. The process begins with cargo pickup from your location in Kenya and ends with final delivery in Singapore handled professionally, affordably, and in full compliance with customs and regulatory authorities.
Our export services include local pickup, professional cargo handling, secure packaging, preparation of all required export documents, and customs clearance at Mombasa Port or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). We offer both air freight and sea freight options, along with real-time tracking and customer support.
For exporters of perishable products like flowers and fruits, we provide cold chain solutions, including pre-cooling, temperature-controlled shipping, and phytosanitary certification. Whether you’re an experienced exporter or new to global trade, Wakah Logistics is here to support you at every step.
Shipping Modes & Transit Times
Air freight offers fast delivery between JKIA and Singapore’s Changi Airport, ideal for time-sensitive or perishable goods. Transit takes 2 to 4 days.
Sea freight, via Mombasa Port and transshipped through hubs like Dubai or Colombo, is a cost-effective solution for bulk and containerized cargo, with transit times ranging from 18 to 28 days depending on routing and schedules.
Importing from Singapore to Kenya
Singapore is a leading source of industrial technology and consumer goods. Kenyan importers often source electronics, medical devices, industrial machinery, cosmetics, and packaging materials from Singapore.
Wakah Logistics manages the full import journey from supplier coordination in Singapore, inspection and pre-shipment checks, freight booking, customs clearance at the Kenyan port or airport, and last-mile delivery to your business premises in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, or anywhere across Kenya.
We ensure all documentation such as invoices, import declarations, KEBS certifications, and pre-export inspection reports are handled to avoid customs delays or compliance penalties.

Pricing Overview & Cost Structure
Air freight is charged based on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. This mode is ideal for fast delivery of perishable or high-value items and typically takes 3 to 7 days.
Sea freight is calculated per CBM (cubic meter) and is suitable for high-volume or consolidated cargo. It takes approximately 3 to 5 weeks and is far more economical for large shipments. Both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less-than-Container Load (LCL) options are available.
Wakah provides transparent pricing, with all charges such as freight fees, customs handling, documentation support, and packaging clearly outlined in your quote. Our team will help you choose the most cost-effective option for your specific cargo and deadline.
Compliance & Documentation
All exports from Kenya must comply with KEBS, KRA, and phytosanitary requirements. Required documents may include certificates of origin, KEBS certification, phytosanitary certificates, export declarations, and commercial invoices.
Singapore import regulations are enforced by Singapore Customs and agencies like the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), Singapore Food Agency (SFA), and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). Controlled goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals must meet strict standards. Wakah helps ensure that all regulatory requirements are met for both directions.
