Shipping to Africa
We ship construction materials, plumbing, electrical goods and machinery to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal and East African countries. We run the country conformity programs and pre-shipment inspections.
Compliance requirements
Shipments to African markets are subject to country-specific conformity programs. We confirm documents at the quote stage and complete inspections before shipment.
Nigeria — SON conformity program
Regulated products require a pre-shipment product certificate and a shipment-based SONCAP certificate. We coordinate both.
Kenya — KEBS PVoC
Pre-export verification of conformity. Pre-loading inspection and CoC certificate issued.
Pre-shipment inspection
Many African countries require independent inspection. We work with SGS, Bureau Veritas and Intertek.
