Tile Export to Kenya — Mombasa & Nairobi
Kenya is the entry point to the East African market, and its short sea route from Gujarat is a genuine commercial advantage — containers reach Mombasa faster from western India than from almost anywhere else, which shows up directly in the landed cost.

What sells in Kenya
Demand is not the same in every market. These are the formats and ranges that actually move here.
- 600x600 mm porcelain for apartment developments
- 600x1200 mm large format for the Nairobi upper residential market
- Wood-effect planks, which perform unusually well in this market
- Outdoor anti-slip for compounds, verandas and terraces
- Step and riser sets for apartment blocks and maisonettes
Importing into Kenya
Kenya requires a Certificate of Conformity under the PVoC programme before shipment. Inspection is carried out in India by the appointed agency and we arrange it as part of the export process.
Mombasa is roughly two weeks from Mundra, the shortest transit of any of our African markets, which makes smaller and more frequent shipments viable here than in West Africa.
Nairobi apartment developments buy in project quantities and value single-batch shade consistency, which we produce to order.
Exporting to Kenya — common questions
Do you ship full containers to Kenya?
Yes. We ship 20-foot and 40-foot full container loads from Mundra and Kandla, discharging at Mombasa. Transit is typically 12 to 16 days from Mundra.
Can one container hold several different tile ranges?
Yes, and most of our Kenya customers order that way. A mixed container can combine sizes, finishes and ranges, and can include sanitary ware alongside tiles, which brings the freight cost per unit down substantially.
What documents do you provide with a shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, and the test reports and technical data sheets your clearing agent or standards authority will ask for. We prepare the full set in-house.
Do you supply samples before an order?
Yes. We send physical samples of the shades and finishes you are considering before a container is committed, which matters because printed catalogues never reproduce a tile's tone accurately.
