Skip the confusion of US customs, complex labeling laws, and expensive third-party logistics. Ship Imara handles your entire supply chain from Kenya straight into Amazon’s US fulfillment centers.
Bring your raw, unpackaged products to our Nairobi office. You don’t need to worry about heavy boxes or strict sizing rules yet.
We fly your cargo directly into Austin, Texas. Ship Imara acts as the Importer of Record, handling all US customs clearance and tariffs under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms.
Your cargo goes to our secure inspection hub near Austin airport. Our team unboxes items, checks for transit damage, applies individual FNSKU barcodes, and packs them into Amazon-compliant cartons.
We apply your Amazon Partnered Carrier (UPS) labels directly to the boxes. UPS collects from our Texas hub and delivers straight to your assigned Amazon fulfillment center.
Before dropping off at our Nairobi facility, complete these steps in your Amazon Seller Central account:
The more you ship, the less you pay per kg. Regular restockers get significant savings.
Create your Amazon Seller Central account at sell.amazon.com. List your products and get your FNSKU barcodes. Amazon will assign you a fulfilment centre (FC) address for each shipment.
Print FNSKU labels and attach one to every unit. Print Amazon box labels and attach to every carton. These are Amazon's requirements — our team will verify them before accepting your cargo.
Send us your Amazon Shipment ID, the FC address (e.g. PHX6, DAL3, JFK8), total weight and number of cartons. We confirm your rate and schedule collection.
Pickup → export documentation → KRA declaration → airway bill → air freight → US customs clearance → delivery to the Amazon FC. You track via WhatsApp.
Amazon receives your shipment at the FC (1–5 business days). Your inventory goes live and sales can begin. Total door-to-FC time: 7–12 days.
Amazon will reject shipments with missing or wrong labels. Our team checks every unit before accepting your cargo. If labels are missing — we flag it immediately so you can fix it before we dispatch.
Never send unlabelled goods — Amazon will refuse them at the FC.
Under AGOA (extended to December 2028), over 1,800 Kenyan product categories enter the USA with 0% import duty. This is a massive competitive advantage for Kenyan Amazon sellers.
Most Kenyan goods qualify for duty-free entry under AGOA. Your US buyers pay no extra fees on qualifying products.
We help you obtain the Certificate of Origin from the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce — required for AGOA eligibility.
From apparel to agricultural goods, handicrafts to processed foods — most Kenyan exports qualify. Ask us to check yours.
