Flowers, tea, coffee, and similar goods are commonly shipped to France, but flowers and fresh produce need phytosanitary certificates and fast handling. Message us the exact items and we'll confirm what's required.
Documents Needed
We prepare your export documentation as part of the service — here's what's typically involved.
Usually required
- Export customs invoice with HS code classification
- Receiver details (name, address, city, phone)
Sometimes required (depends on goods)
- Phytosanitary certificate (flowers, plants, fresh produce)

Customs Clearance in France
We prepare your documentation before your shipment departs, so it's ready to clear on arrival rather than held up at customs.
Why documentation matters
A missing certificate or an incorrect HS code can hold a shipment in EU customs for days. We classify and document every shipment properly before it ever leaves Nairobi.

FAQ — Shipping from Kenya to France
Answers to the most common questions about Kenya to France courier shipping, customs, delivery time, and pricing.
How much does it cost to ship to France from Kenya?
Kenya to France shipping is weight-based. Example standard-cargo rates: 0.5kg = KES 4,374, 1kg = KES 5,335, 5kg = KES 12,015, 10kg = KES 20,120, 20kg = KES 34,073. Use the calculator above for an instant estimate. Final pricing may vary for restricted items, special handling, or volumetric (dimensional) weight.
Do you charge volumetric (dimensional) weight?
Yes. We bill the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as Length × Width × Height (in cm) ÷ 5000. This applies to bulky, lightweight items where the box takes up more space than its weight suggests.
How long does shipping from Kenya to France take?
Typical delivery is a few business days after payment, door-to-door to Paris, Lyon, and other French cities. Timing can vary by destination city, flight schedules, and customs checks.
Do you deliver door-to-door across France?
Yes. We deliver door-to-door to Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and other French cities. Delivery time may vary by location.
Where do I drop off my parcel in Nairobi and do you offer pickup?
You can drop off at our Karen office: Heri Plaza Karen, Ngong Road, 1st Floor Shop No. 8. Pickup within Nairobi can be arranged—share your location on WhatsApp and we'll advise the best option.
What details do you need to give an accurate Kenya to France quote?
Send: weight (estimate is okay), contents description, and destination city in France. If items include flowers, food, batteries, or regulated goods, tell us upfront. For business shipments, also share declared value and number of boxes.
What items can I ship from Kenya to France?
Common shipments include flowers, tea, coffee, textiles, handicrafts, personal effects, and business samples. If you're shipping food, electronics, or anything regulated, message us first so we can confirm acceptance and EU import requirements.
Can I ship flowers or fresh produce to France?
Fresh flowers and produce are a major Kenya-EU export category, but they need specific phytosanitary certificates and fast handling. Message us the exact product and quantity and we'll confirm the requirements and best shipping method.
Do I need special certificates for my goods?
Some goods — food products, plants and flowers, and certain commercial cargo — need additional certificates for EU customs. We'll tell you exactly what's needed once we know what you're shipping.
What documents are required for Kenya to France shipping?
Most shipments require a customs invoice, HS classification, and receiver details. Some shipments need additional certificates depending on the goods. We prepare this documentation for you as part of our export service.
How do you calculate the billing weight?
We bill the greater of actual weight or volumetric (dimensional) weight, calculated as Length × Width × Height (in cm) ÷ 5000.
Do you provide tracking and delivery confirmation?
Yes. Shipments include tracking updates and delivery confirmation. If you need extra handling instructions, share them at booking.
What payment methods do you accept in Kenya?
We accept common local payment options such as M-Pesa, bank transfer, and cash at our Nairobi office. Ask on WhatsApp for the latest payment instructions.
