At Clearon Logistics, we simplify this by offering a transparent system using:

✈️ Air freight (charged per kg)
🚢 Sea freight (charged per kg)
📦 UK warehouse consolidation for small shipments

This guide breaks down real costs so you can clearly understand how much you will pay before shipping.

💰 Understanding UK to Kenya Shipping Costs

The cost of shipping from the UK to Kenya depends on 4 key factors:

Weight (kg)
Shipping method (air or sea)
Customs clearance & final delivery

👉 The biggest mistake importers make is comparing only base shipping rates without considering consolidation and final delivery.

✈️ Air Freight Cost from UK to Kenya (Per Kg Pricing)

Air freight is the fastest option and is charged per kilogram.

💡 Typical Air Freight Rate:

Ksh 2,500 per kg (depending on cargo type)

📦 Example Calculation (Air Freight)

Let’s say you are shipping:

15 kg parcel
Rate: Ksh 2,500 per kg

👉 Calculation:
15 × Ksh 2,500 = Ksh 37,500

⏱ Air Freight Delivery Time:

5 to 10 days

✔ Best for:

Small parcels
Electronics
Urgent personal goods
Business samples

🚢 Sea Freight Cost from UK to Kenya (Cheaper for Bulk Cargo)

Sea freight is ideal for larger shipments and is charged per kg.

💡 Typical Sea Freight Rate:

Ksh 500 per kg

📦 Example Calculation (Sea Freight)

Let’s say you are shipping:

100 kg cargo
Rate: Ksh 500 per Kg

👉 Calculation:
100 × 500 = Ksh 50,000

🚨 Why Sea Freight Looks Cheaper

Even though sea freight is slower, it:

Carries more goods per shipment
Reduces cost per kg significantly
Ideal for bulky cargo

👉 This is why businesses importing furniture, stock, or machinery prefer it.

⏱ Sea Freight Delivery Time:

30 to 45 days

📦 UK Warehouse Consolidation (Hidden Cost Saver)

This is where most customers save money without realizing it.

Instead of shipping multiple small parcels separately:

Without consolidation:

Higher per kg cost
Multiple handling costs and customs entries

With Clearon consolidation:

All items received in UK warehouse
Combined into one shipment
Charged as one optimized cost

👉 This can reduce total shipping cost by 20%–50%

At Clearon Logistics, your cost typically includes:

✔ UK warehouse handling costs
✔ Consolidation & packing
✔ International shipping (air or sea)
✔ Customs clearance in Kenya

👉 No hidden charges approach (you are billed as one final total depending on weight
