Professional Purchasing & Procurement Agent Services
Your Feet on the Ground in China, Your Growth Partner in Kenya
Many Kenyan entrepreneurs struggle with the “buying” phase of the supply chain—dealing with unverified Alibaba suppliers or figuring out how to pay a manufacturer in Guangzhou or Yiwu.
As your dedicated China-to-Kenya Purchasing Agent, Moks acts as your local representative. We don’t just ship your goods; we handle the entire procurement cycle, ensuring you get exactly what you paid for, at the best possible price.
End-to-End Procurement Solutions
We simplify the complex process of buying and moving goods across borders.
- Supplier Communication & Negotiation: We bridge the language gap. Our fluent team in China negotiates directly with factories to secure lower prices and lower MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) for our Kenyan clients.
- Secure Payment Assistance: Struggling with payments? We facilitate secure transfers to Chinese suppliers, overcoming the common hurdles of AliPay, WeChat Pay, and international bank restrictions.
- Consolidation & Warehousing: Buy from multiple sellers on Alibaba, 1688, or Made-in-China. We receive all your items at our China warehouse, inspect them, and combine them into one shipment to save you significant shipping costs.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection: Before your goods leave China, we check for quality, quantity, and specifications. We send you live photos and videos so you can approve the cargo before it heads to Mombasa or Nairobi.
Why Use a Purchasing Agent?
Buying directly can be risky. Here is how Moks adds value to your business:
| Service Feature | DIY Purchasing | Moks Purchasing Agent |
| Supplier Vetting | Risky (Unknown credibility) | Verified & Background-checked |
| Payment Method | Often restricted/Complex | Local & International options |
| Quality Check | Only after arrival in Kenya | Before leaving the China factory |
| KRA/KEBS Paperwork | You handle the headache | We handle IDF & CoC compliance |
Navigating Kenya Customs (KRA) and Standards (KEBS)
Importing to Kenya requires strict adherence to local regulations. Our logistics team ensures your cargo is 100% compliant:
- IDF Lodgment: We help process your Import Declaration Form through the KRA iCMS system.
- PVoC & CoC: We coordinate with KEBS-approved inspection agencies in China to ensure your products get the Certificate of Conformity (CoC), preventing heavy fines at the Port of Mombasa.
- Duty & Tax Estimation: We provide transparent estimates for Import Duty, VAT, RDL (Railway Development Levy), and IDF fees so there are no surprises when your goods land in Kenya.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy from 1688.com for me?
