Mombasa port: common risks and pre-shipment checks

Problems at Mombasa usually sit in document-to-batch matching; item-by-item checks before shipment avoid them.

Key points

Typical risks are certificates that do not match the shipment and missing ACD references on the B/L; check description, model and HS code consistency before shipping.
Complete pre-shipment verification and obtain the CoC for machinery; present it to KEBS and customs on arrival.
This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
