Basic Introduction

According to the Kenyan government decree, the importer of the company must obtain the "Certificate of Conformity" (COC, CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY) before going through customs clearance procedures with Kenya Customs. After the inspection is completed, the original COC certificate will be sent to the exporter by express mail. If you need to mail it directly to the importer or other person, please specify clearly in the remarks column of this application form.

It is necessary to fill in this application form and its attached pages truthfully, correctly and completely, including relevant HS code, ICS code and other information. It is the basic responsibility of the applicant to fill in the product description and HS code correctly. Failure to fill in the product description and/or HS code correctly will result in inconsistencies in on-site inspection/testing, so that COC cannot be issued, and the applicant will still bear the relevant costs and leave a bad credit record. Once the goods are shipped to Kenya, the It will be required to be rectified and fined by the Kenyan management.

Market Access Requirements:

On September 29, 2005, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) began to implement the Pre-Export Standards Conformity Verification Scheme (PVoC). Products in the PVoC catalog must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before shipment, and provide it to Kenya Customs upon arrival, otherwise they will not be able to enter the country. If there is no CoC, KEBS may decide to inspect the batch of goods and impose a fine.
