Frequently Asked Questions by East African Steel Importers (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda)
1. How do you comply with KEBS PVoC requirements for Kenya and TBS for Tanzania?
We handle the complete Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) process through accredited inspection partners (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas, CCIC) to issue the mandatory Certificate of Conformity (CoC) required for customs clearance at Mombasa (Kenya) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).
2. What is the ocean shipping transit time to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam Port?
Direct ocean shipping from Tianjin or Qingdao Port to Mombasa Port (Kenya) takes approximately 18 to 22 days, and to Dar es Salaam Port (Tanzania) approximately 20 to 24 days, offering significantly faster delivery than West African routes.
3. What payment terms are accepted for East African buyers?
We accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit at sight (L/C at sight) confirmed by recognized East African commercial banks such as KCB Bank, Equity Bank, Stanbic Bank, NCBA, and CRDB Bank.
We coordinate seamless ocean shipping to Dar es Salaam Port (20–24 Days CIF) with complete transit documentation (Cross-Border Transit B/L) for heavy steel plates (ASTM A36/S355JR), seamless line pipes, structural hollow sections, and grinding steel rods delivered directly to DRC mining sites.
