Kenya – new KEBS PVoC regs

by | 2 Jan 2016 | Africa, Kenya, Products, Regulations

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), a statutory organisation of the government of Kenya, has implemented guidelines called the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC)  for exports to Kenya. All consignments which are subject to the Kenya PVoC must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) issued by an authorised PVoC Agent. The CoC is a mandatory document for Customs Clearance in Kenya and any consignments arriving at Kenyan Ports without this document will be denied entry into the country. However, it is possible for Kenya based manufacturers to be excluded from these regulations  – see the ‘related article’ link below.

These regulations can be pretty tricky to navigate and a lot of paperwork and expertise is required to achieve conformity. But Cayley Chemicals are well positioned, with well established relationships with authorised PVoC agents and nearly 30 years experience, to accomplish this.
