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.
Kai-Sev Limited is a Kenya-based, KRA-licensed customs and freight forwarding agent offering end-to-end logistics — from booking your shipment at origin to customs clearance and last-mile delivery in Kenya.
CALL TO ACTION →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.
TALK TO A FREIGHT CONSULTANT →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.
Buying FOB gives you greater visibility into the freight and insurance costs associated with your shipment, rather than relying on a bundled supplier quotation.
With Kai-Sev managing your freight, routing, carrier selection and scheduling can be planned around your shipment requirements.
