Find out about obtaining a Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) certificate for exporting products to Kenya. SGS is a PVoC partner of the Kenyan Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and a worldwide authorized service provider for PVoC Kenya.

Requirements for Exporting to Kenya

Kenya's PVoC to Standards program, which is compulsory for Customs clearance, verifies that imports meet all the quality, health, safety and environmental standards of Kenya.

To comply with PVoC requirements, exporters to Kenya require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for their goods. Exporters are responsible for compliance and for any legal or economic consequences arising for goods shipped without a CoC. Goods exempted from the program are still subject to destination inspection by KEBS.

Obtaining Your PVoC Certificate

If you are exporting to Kenya, once you have a firm order for your goods, we can arrange for their certification. This will enable you to avoid delays on arrival and prevent losses caused by non-compliant products.
