Kenya to South Sudan Shipping Rates
Our tariff, published in full. Ten tables covering road, air, full truckloads and 20ft and 40ft containers from Nairobi and Mombasa to Juba, with what each rate includes, what it excludes and how long it is valid.
How to read these tables
We publish rates instead of hiding them. There is no calculator on this site and no form standing between you and a price. Where a figure is missing, it is because we haven't approved that rate for publication yet, not because we want your email address first. Those cells say Contact us for current rates, and that is exactly what they mean.
A few things that apply across every table:
- Chargeable weight. Road and air freight are billed on the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Light, bulky cargo is priced on the space it occupies.
- Currency. Rates are quoted in the currency shown in the table.
- Duties and taxes. Import duty, VAT and other charges payable in South Sudan are assessed by the South Sudan National Revenue Authority on your goods, not by us. They are never included in a freight rate unless the table says so explicitly. See South Sudan import duties and taxes
- Port and line charges. Shore handling, wharfage, storage, container deposits, detention and demurrage are set by Kenya Ports Authority and by the shipping line.
- Validity. Each row carries its own validity window. Outside that window, ask us to reconfirm before you commit.
- Confirmation. Whatever is published here, the rate for your shipment is the one we confirm to you in writing against your actual cargo details.

China to Juba, door to door and duty paid
These two are quoted differently from everything above. They are DDP rates: the figure includes South Sudan import duty and taxes, clearance and delivery to Juba.
| Route | Cargo category | Weight band | Price per kg | Minimum charge | Terms | Transit time | Included | Excluded | Rate validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| China to Juba | General cargo | 5 kg minimum chargeable weight | USD 16 | USD 80 | DDP (delivered duty paid) | 14 working days | Freight, clearance, South Sudan duty and taxes, delivery to Juba | Restricted, regulated and dangerous goods; conformity and permit fees; offloading |
DDP rates include South Sudan import duty and taxes. You pay us, we clear the goods into Juba. Restricted and regulated goods sit outside these rates and are quoted separately.
| Route | Cargo category | Rate per CBM | Currency | Minimum volume | Minimum charge | Terms | Transit time | Included | Excluded | Rate validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| China to Juba | General cargo | 950 | USD | Confirm with us | USD 95 | DDP (delivered duty paid) | 60 days | Freight, clearance, South Sudan duty and taxes, delivery to Juba | Restricted, regulated and dangerous goods; conformity and permit fees; offloading | |
| China to Juba | Sensitive cargo | 1,100 | USD | Confirm with us | USD 150 | DDP (delivered duty paid) | 60 days | Freight, clearance, South Sudan duty and taxes, delivery to Juba | Restricted, regulated and dangerous goods; conformity and permit fees; offloading |
These are DDP rates. South Sudan import duty and taxes are already in the figure above. You pay us, we clear the goods into Juba. Restricted and regulated goods sit outside these rates and are quoted separately.

Cargo charged per piece
Some cargo is priced by the unit rather than by weight or volume, because the pieces are predictable enough that counting them is fairer than weighing them. Per piece rates apply to consolidated movements. A full container is priced as a container.
| Route | Item | Rate | Unit | Currency | Minimum quantity | Transit time | Handling | Included | Excluded | Rate validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nairobi to Juba | Solar panel, standard module | 9,500 | per piece | KES | None | Confirm with us | Carried upright on edge, strapped in frames, never stacked flat. Original pallet packaging retained where supplied. Panels moving under consolidation must be crated; we can build the crate. | Collection in Nairobi, handling, road movement and delivery | Full container loads, which are priced as containers rather than per piece. Crating for consolidated movements, quoted with the shipment. Duty and taxes in South Sudan, offloading at destination, any permit or certification the goods require. |
| Route | Item | Rate | Unit | Currency | Minimum quantity | Transit time | Handling | Included | Excluded | Rate validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mombasa to Juba | Solar panel, standard module | 14,000 | per piece | KES | None | Confirm with us | Carried upright on edge, strapped in frames, never stacked flat. Original pallet packaging retained where supplied. Panels moving under consolidation must be crated; we can build the crate. | Collection at Mombasa, the leg up to Nairobi, consolidation, road movement and delivery | Full container loads, which are priced as containers rather than per piece. Crating for consolidated movements, quoted with the shipment. Duty and taxes in South Sudan, offloading at destination, any permit or certification the goods require. |

What is not in these tables
Some things are quoted per shipment because they vary:
- Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, pharmaceuticals and temperature controlled cargo
- Oversized, abnormal or project cargo, and anything needing a crane or a lowbed
- Vehicles and heavy plant
- Waiting time beyond the free period at loading or offloading
- Customs brokerage, where a table shows it as excluded
- Storage, detention and demurrage arising from delays outside our control
Send us the details and we will price them properly rather than guess.
Some goods we won't carry at all, and some we can only accept once a permit is in hand. See what we don't ship.

Questions people ask about our pricing
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why do some cells say "Contact us for current rates"?
Because that rate has not been approved for publication yet. We would rather tell you that plainly than show a placeholder figure you might budget against. Message us and we will send you the current rate for your cargo in writing.
Why is there no shipping calculator on this site?
Calculators on freight sites almost always either hide the real price behind a lead capture form, or produce a number that bears little relation to what you are finally charged. We publish the tariff instead, with the inclusions, exclusions and validity written next to each figure.
How is chargeable weight calculated?
Chargeable weight is the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight converts the space a shipment occupies into a weight equivalent, so light but bulky cargo is priced on the room it takes up on the vehicle or aircraft.
What is sensitive cargo?
Goods that carry higher value per kilogram, higher duty exposure, or additional handling and documentary requirements. Usually electronics, phones, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and branded goods. They are rated in a separate column. Describe your cargo accurately when you ask for a rate and we will tell you which band applies.
How long is a published rate valid?
Each row carries its own validity window. Outside that window, ask us to reconfirm before you commit. Whatever is published, the rate for your shipment is the one we confirm to you in writing against your actual cargo details.
Are port charges at Mombasa included?
Each container rate row states whether port charges are included or excluded. Port charges are levied by Kenya Ports Authority under its own published tariff, and container deposits, detention and demurrage are set by the shipping line. Neither is ours to set.
