Is the Mombasa port operational at this time?

Oh yes, it is. No way a country that imports oil and is also the entry point for the landlocked neighbours can close a port.

Last week, we took delivery if a generator that was produced in India. Covid slowed the order a bit, but the process is as usual.
If you are not based in Mombasa how did the clearing go? Do you have a clearing agent at the port to pay customs and organise packing and transportation?

The contractor who supplied the generator did everything. They have reliable agents because they import continuously.
Is it possible for a machine weighing 100kg to charge only USD 15 for shipping? That's what they are charging us to ship to Mombasa.

I don't believe that Ksh. 1500 is enough for packaging documenting, dispatching and transporting an item that far. It must be F.O.B Mumbai, which means you'll pay everything after it's at tge destination. What us the customs value of the item?
