The Demurrage Trap
Demurrage is the storage fee charged when cargo stays at the port beyond the "free period" (usually 4-5 days). In Mombasa, these fees escalate daily and can quickly turn a profitable import into a financial disaster.
Beat the Clock
The key to avoiding these fees is having your financing ready before the ship docks. Our Import Duty Finance is processed in under 6 hours, meaning the moment KRA releases the tax bill, the payment is made.
Importer's Checklist:
- Documents: Have your original Bill of Lading and Invoice verified 10 days before arrival.
- Valuation: Get the vehicle you are using as security (logbook) valued early.
- 100% Funding: Don't settle for partial financing. Our 100% option covers everything, including port handling, so there are no "hidden" costs that cause delays.
