Kenya COC certification

Kenya COC certification profile

Kenya COC / PVOC certification is the documents required for export customs clearance in Kenya. It is used for customs clearance in Kenya. If each batch of goods is in the appendix of the controlled product listed in Kenya, it should be inspected on site before shipment to confirm that the product meets Kenya's relevant technical regulations and recognized standards.

The full name of the COC certification is a declaration of compliance, and the COC certificate is a necessary customs clearance document for products exported to the Middle East and African countries. For goods exported to the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, the customs of the importing country needs the importer to provide a certificate of conformance (COC) issued by the recognized international certification company for the goods.

COC has different manifestations in different countries, among which the three East African countries Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are all called PVOC certification. Therefore, Kenya COC certification = Kenya PVOC certification. The products in the PVOC catalog must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (COC) before shipment and provide it to the Kenya Customs upon arrival, otherwise they will not be able to enter the country. As an exception, KEBS can accept the application of the importer to carry out inspections at the port of arrival in Kenya, but the importer will bear a 15% penalty for the value of the CIF goods, a 15% security deposit, and inspection and testing costs.
