We move cargo that keep businesses running, cleared consignments that meet production deadlines, and supported clients.

The business owners that treat logistics as strategy don't get caught off guard. They plan ahead — and they work with a partner who plans with them.

Electronics and technology imports into Kenya are high-value, highly regulated, and highly targeted by customs for scrutiny.

Whether it's consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications hardware, or IT infrastructure, this cargo category demands precision at every stage:

→ PVoC certification is mandatory for most electronics categories — no certificate means KEBS local testing, which takes time
→ HS classification must distinguish between consumer, commercial, and industrial use — each carries different duty implications
→ Excise duty applies to certain electronics categories including mobile phones and televisions
→ Customs value verification — electronics are a flagged category for undervaluation
→ KEBS Type Approval may be required for telecoms and radio-frequency equipment

For businesses importing electronics at volume — retailers, distributors, tech companies — a clearance error on a high-value container is a significant financial exposure.

Gatlink Investments clears electronics cargo accurately and efficiently, managing the multi-agency compliance chain so your high-value goods don't sit longer than they need to.

Kenya's textile and apparel import market is one of the fastest-growing categories moving through Mombasa Port — and one of the most scrutinised by customs.

Whether it's fabric rolls, finished garments, second-hand clothing (mitumba), or industrial textiles, this category comes with specific compliance requirements:

→ Accurate HS classification — a single digit difference can change duty rates significantly
→ KEBS standards compliance for certain textile categories
→ Anti-dumping duty implications for goods from specific origins
→ Verification of declared value — textiles are a high-risk category for undervaluation
→ EAC Common External Tariff application for regional trade

For businesses in fashion, retail, manufacturing, or garment processing, getting your textile import right from the start is critical to cost control and compliance.

Gatlink Investments clears textile and apparel cargo with the technical accuracy this category demands.

Every cargo clearance in Kenya runs on documentation. Miss one, and the queue starts again.

Depending on the cargo type, additional documents may include KEPHIS phytosanitary certificates, EPRA approval for petroleum products, KEBS inspection reports, or sector-specific licences.

The difference between a smooth clearance and a port delay is almost always documentation — prepared correctly, submitted on time, and free of inconsistencies.

Gatlink Investments audits your documentation before your vessel arrives. Not after.

📩 Let's review your docs before your cargo sails.

The humble shipping container is one of the most transformative inventions in the history of global trade.

Before containerisation, cargo was loaded piece by piece — a process that was slow, expensive, and vulnerable to damage and theft. The standardised container changed everything.

For importers, understanding container types matters — the wrong container choice affects your freight rate, your cargo integrity, and your clearance process.

At Gatlink Investments, we advise clients on container selection, coordinate with shipping lines, and manage the full clearance process from the moment your box hits Mombasa Port.

Not all cargo can wait. Cold chain freight operates on a different clock entirely — and the margin for error is close to zero.
Cold chain cargo includes pharmaceuticals, vaccines, fresh produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and certain chemicals — all of which require controlled temperature conditions from origin to final destination.

Clearing cold chain cargo in Kenya demands:

→ Pre-arrival coordination with KEBS and KEPHIS for perishable goods
→ Priority clearance requests to minimise port dwell time
→ Refrigerated transport from port to cold storage — already booked before arrival
→ Compliance with Kenya's pharmaceutical import regulations for temperature-sensitive medicines
→ Real-time monitoring documentation across the entire cold chain

A delay in clearance doesn't just cost money for cold chain cargo. It can render an entire consignment unusable.

At Gatlink Investments, we treat cold chain shipments with the urgency they demand — because your cargo has a shelf life, and every hour at port costs you more than just money.

📩 Have a time-sensitive or cold chain shipment arriving? Talk to us first.

There's a call that clearing agents know well. It comes late — sometimes 11PM, sometimes earlier — and it starts with: ""our vessel is arriving tomorrow morning and we have a problem.""

Maybe the bill of lading has an error. Maybe the IDF wasn't filed in time. Maybe a document is missing and the client only just realised.

These moments are where the real difference between a capable clearing agent and an average one becomes clear.

At Gatlink Investments, we've taken those calls. We've worked through the night to resolve documentation issues before vessels berth. We've coordinated between suppliers, shipping lines, KRA, and clients across time zones to get things right before they become port problems.

We don't advertise this. It just comes with doing the job properly.

Your cargo doesn't have business hours. Neither do we.
