- Net weight: 348 Kg (= 0.348 metric ton)
- Quantity: 348 KGM
- Take care: compare unit prices only on the same basis - weight-unit prices and quantity-unit prices are not interchangeable
Q8: How do I use Kenya data to develop buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter records where the kenya importer is in Kenya and the HS code matches your product line
2. De-duplicate buyers by importer company code
3. Grade each buyer by purchase frequency and value (month, USD amount, declaration-level value summary)
4. Look at which exporter they currently buy from, then pitch the same category
Sample application: ETS CARGO MALID (-) imported WALL LED LAMPS; 40; 78 from United Arab Emirates (AE), so similar products can be pitched to the same buyer profile.
Q9: How do I build a pricing or cost model with this data?

1. Extract the value fields: USD amount 2,196.34 and USD weight-unit price 6.31132; local-currency amount 284,360.19 KES; CNY amount 14,795; EUR amount 1,894.57; contract value 2,196.34039 USD
2. Note the Incoterms (sample: not stated) to know which cost elements are inside the declared value

Sample application: "WALL LED LAMPS; 40; 78" declared under HS 94054200, 348 Kg, origin United Arab Emirates (AE).
Q10: How do I screen clearance channels and logistics routes?
Steps:
1. Group records by customs broker / agent, customs agent, or logistics company (Afrisia Global Logistics Limited)
2. Count declaration volume and total net weight handled by each one
3. Review the customs office and port used (sample: - / -)
4. Prioritize the brokers who already clear your product category
Sample application: this declaration was cleared through Afrisia Global Logistics Limited.
Q11: How do I analyse import trends with Kenya data?
Analysis dimensions:
1. Time: aggregate month, USD amount, net weight and record count using the month and clearance date fields
2. Origin: compare country of origin and exporter country shares
3. Product: rank HS codes, sub-industry and industry by value
4. Supplier: profile the main exporters and their declared unit prices
Sample application: the sample is a 202608 record (import), HS 94054200, which can be used as one data point in a monthly trend line.
Q12: How do I screen price anomalies and audit declared value?
Screening method:
1. Compare the line-level unit price (USD weight-unit price 6.31132) with the same-indicator distribution on the same HS code
2. Check weight consistency (net weight 348 Kg against the declaration-level weight where available)
3. Flag records whose values are reported as 0 or whose duty is fully exempted, and exclude them from price averages
4. Manually review outliers that deviate far from the category median
Sample: Freight KES 57,689.61; insurance KES 150,153.81; duty KES 71,091; excise 0; other taxes 0; total tax KES 127,964; duty r.
Q13: What does a transit record to Congo DRC mean in Kenya data?
Kenya acts as a regional transit corridor for landlocked Central African markets, and the sample shows exactly that pattern:
- Import/export category = Transit with trade type TR8, departure country United Arab Emirates (AE), destination Congo DRC (CD)
- Forwarder: Afrisia Global Logistics Limited (P051705416B), sea transport, port code CNT (Mombasa)
- Effect on analysis: transit lines are not Kenyan consumption, so exclude them before sizing the local market, yet keep them to study corridor flows into DRC, Uganda and South Sudan
