Already buying CIF? Let's show you what you could be saving.

Every year, Kenyan importers pay more than they need to for goods landed in Kenya — not because of what they buy, but because of how they buy it. Kai-Sev helps you take control of your freight costs, routing and delivery process.

The Real Cost of Letting Your Supplier Handle Freight

When you buy on CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) terms, your overseas supplier arranges the ocean or air freight and insurance on your behalf, then bundles those costs into your invoice.


When you buy on FOB (Free On Board) terms, the supplier's responsibility ends once the goods are loaded onto the vessel or aircraft at the port or airport of origin. From that point, you — or your appointed freight forwarder — control the freight, insurance, routing and customs process all the way to your warehouse in Kenya.


That's where Kai-Sev comes in.

01

See the Real Freight Cost

Buying FOB gives you greater visibility into the freight and insurance costs associated with your shipment, rather than relying on a bundled supplier quotation.

02

Choose Your Carrier & Routing

With Kai-Sev managing your freight, routing, carrier selection and scheduling can be planned around your shipment requirements.

03

One Accountable Partner

Work with one logistics partner from origin booking through freight movement, customs clearance and delivery in Kenya.

04

Consolidate & Optimize

We can advise on the most appropriate shipping method for your cargo, including air or sea, full-container or consolidated shipments.

05

Prepare for Customs Early

Involving Kai-Sev from the booking stage gives our team visibility into shipment documentation, supporting preparation for customs declaration, classification and clearance.

06

Insurance on Your Terms

FOB gives you the opportunity to arrange cargo insurance according to the value and risk profile of your shipment.

The Bottom Line

FOB keeps control of your freight with you and lets Kai-Sev put that control to work — with transparent freight planning, customs support and delivery coordination from origin to Kenya.
