Less-than-Container Load shipping lets you share container space with other shippers. Pay only for the space you use - perfect for smaller shipments to Kenya.
LCL shipping to Kenya costs $35 per cubic foot. This rate is all-inclusive for the ocean freight portion. You only pay for the actual space your items occupy in the shared container.
For predictable pricing, consider our prepaid box options which offer fixed-price shipping for standard box sizes.
Need a full container instead? Check our FCL (Full Container Load) options.
Real numbers, not a guess. These are computed the same way our quote calculator prices your shipment: chargeable weight is the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H in inches ÷ 306 for air, giving kilograms), and you pay that weight times the rate, or the $50.00 minimum charge, whichever is higher. There is no minimum weight.

Wireless earbuds weighs too little to reach the $50.00 minimum charge, so it pays the $50.00 minimum. Consolidating it with a heavier item like a gaming laptop (charged on its own 2.8 kg) usually costs less than shipping both separately, since you pay one minimum instead of two.
LCL (Less-than-Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' goods. You only pay for the space your items occupy, making it cost-effective for smaller shipments that don't fill an entire container.
LCL shipping to Kenya costs $35 per cubic foot. This is the most affordable option for shipments that don't require a full container.
There is no minimum shipment size for LCL with Kentex Cargo. You can ship as little as one box. Our prepaid box options are also available for predictable pricing on smaller ocean shipments.
LCL ocean shipping takes 75-90 days from the container departure date. Containers depart on the last week of every month.
LCL shares container space with other shippers (pay per cubic foot), while FCL gives you a dedicated full container (20ft or 40ft). LCL is cheaper for smaller shipments; FCL is more cost-effective for large volumes.
