Christmas Shipping From USA to Kenya is Already Here
Shipping Christmas gifts from USA to Kenya, 2026
People are already shopping for Christmas and shipping them by air cargo and ocean shipping. We have started seeing shipments for ocean that are meant for Christmas shopping.
For example, we have started seeing Christmas trees and other large Christmas items and decorations. I just walked into a Costco wholesale warehouse, and I'm realizing Christmas gift section has a lot of people.
I've seen a lot of people picking up Christmas Christmas decorations of all kinds and this is fascinating to me given how far Christmas is... But I think it's also a good thing when you prepare ahead of time Before last minute shopping that tends to be expensive in shipping. And sometimes it can be delayed by tipping and clearing suggestion in Kenya.
The Most Popular Christmas Shipping Items
People buying and shipping them by ocean for Christmas are things like Christmas trees, major Christmas gifts like mattresses. Kids large toys like scooter and electric bicycles that otherwise cannot be shipped by air due to larger lithium batteries and restriction by IATA
Container Loading Schedule – Your Window
We have a container that is loading in about three weeks from our Texas warehouse and another one loading four weeks from now from our Delaware warehouse. You can take advantage of these containers before it gets too late to have your boots delivered to Kenya before Christmas.
Air Shipping Options Still Available
For air shipping, nothing has really changed. Every week on Wednesday, we load out of both warehouses, Texas and Delaware.
Takes about 7-14 business days to deliver. Our Delaware location tends to be a little bit faster, especially those times we can catch Kenya Airways flight from New York to Nairobi. That Kenya Airways flight is only fourteen hour flights. When we cut that flight on Saturday, our goods get there by Sunday, we clear on Monday, and by Tuesday, we have them in our warehouse or in or at Westland.

Common Questions We're Getting
How are we dealing with new government regulation for ACD?
Simple answer is we are doing everything required to make sure we remain compliant. You get your goods on time without any delays.
Is shipping going to be more expensive?
Of course. The KRA has increased an average cost of clearing a consolidated container from 2.5M to 3.2M Kenyan shillings. 700,000 shillings is a huge increase, and that cost is being passed on to you, the customer. We try our best to help where we can and at the same time, remain compliant.
One thing is Kenya is an import economy the majority of what is consumed in Kenya is imported primarily from China.
