Sea Shipping to Kenya: Special Requirements for Cargo Insurance
The Kenyan government stipulates that all goods exported to Kenya must be insured by an insurance company in Kenya, and the CIF clause is not accepted. This policy aims to promote the development of the country’s insurance industry and strengthen the supervision of the import cargo insurance link. Export enterprises, when signing trade contracts with Kenyan customers, need to adjust insurance arrangements in accordance with this regulation, communicate and cooperate with local insurance companies in Kenya, and understand their insurance clauses, rates, etc. When going through insurance procedures, provide accurate cargo information and transportation details to obtain appropriate insurance coverage. After the goods are insured, timely provide the insurance policy to the consignee along with the cargo transportation documents. The consignee handles the delivery procedures with this policy when clearing customs. Without this policy, the goods cannot be cleared smoothly.
