Documents we issue
Every shipment leaves Nairobi or Mombasa with its paperwork. Depending on the product, we issue:
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Airway bill or bill of lading
- Phytosanitary certificate (KEPHIS) — flowers, fruit, tea and coffee
- Halal certificate and veterinary health certificate — meat
- Temperature data-logger record — reefer containers
Import permits, where the destination requires them, are the buyer's side; we prepare the documents the permit asks for.
Demand, in numbers

- Frozen meat into the UAE: Kenya is not among the suppliers. Beefy's chilled halal lane is new — chilled, not frozen.

Questions buyers in UAE ask
How do your products reach UAE?
Flowers and chilled meat fly from JKIA, Nairobi. Avocado, tea and coffee sail from Mombasa in containers. The route section on this page lists the airports and ports we quote to.
What documents arrive with the shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the certificate the product needs — phytosanitary for flowers, fruit, tea and coffee; halal and veterinary health for meat — plus the airway bill or bill of lading and, for reefer containers, the temperature record.
Do you quote delivered to Dubai?
Yes. Tell us the Incoterm you work with — FOB, CNF, CIF or CIP — and the airport or port, and we quote to it.
Can one shipment carry more than one product?
Air shipments can combine roses and summer flowers on one airway bill. Chilled meat travels on its own. Sea containers carry one product each; we can plan them together.
How do I get today's price?
WhatsApp or the form, with the product, quantity and destination. We reply with a written quotation and the specification attached.
Do you have an office in UAE?
No. We sell from Nairobi, in English, Arabic and Russian, and we answer the same day.
Why Khor Fakkan and not Jebel Ali?
Khor Fakkan is the port Avocado Kenya ships to with Maersk. Jebel Ali is quoted on request.
Chilled or frozen goat?
Chilled, flown within days of slaughter. We do not ship frozen.
