What we handle
Specialist cargo into Uganda, not a generic brochure.
From AOG engines at Entebbe to cool-chain vaccines in Kampala and solar panels across the border, the same desk owns URA papers, dangerous-goods files and last mile.
Aircraft spares
AOG support, bulk items such as propellers, high-value engines, and declared dangerous goods including paints, aerosols and lubricants. Routed on the right aircraft type with airline and DG paperwork in one file.
Laboratory and pharmaceutical
Temperature-controlled vaccines, delicate laboratory instruments, and dangerous goods with gases that require cargo-aircraft-only (CAO) handling. Cool-chain and documentation stay with the same coordinator.
Humanitarian
Exemption processing for goods used by the United Nations and diplomatic missions, including duty-relief files, permits and last-mile delivery into the field.
Industrial spares
Machine parts covering hydraulics, motor-vehicle components, electricals and mechanical spares. Timed to plant shutdowns and line-down events.
Green and renewable energy
Cross-border logistics for monofacial and bifacial solar panels, supercapacitor and lithium batteries, PV inverters, cables, connectors and accessories, with DG rules applied where batteries require them.
Beverage
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and milk. Bonded or free-circulation storage, appointment delivery and intact seals from origin to the cold or ambient dock.
Cosmetics
Perfumes, lotions, roll-ons and jelly. Many SKUs sit in limited-quantity DG. We classify early so the airline or trucker is never surprised at acceptance.
Clothing and apparel
Clothes, shoes, bags, earrings, necklaces, plus wooden and bone artifacts. Packed for theft-aware handling and customs descriptions that match the commercial invoice.
Visible inventory
Inbound, bonded and outbound lots in one file.
Why shippers stay
A Kampala desk that owns the corridor.
Uganda office since 2026, with Nairobi (2017) on the Kenya side — so cargo does not stall at Malaba, Busia or the Entebbe shed.
- Dedicated coordinator per active Uganda file
- URA entries prepared before cargo arrives

Teams already running Kampala files with CIEN.
“Malaba used to be a black box. Now we get a timestamped update before the truck even queues.”
Operations lead, Kampala FMCG“Entebbe cool-chain handoff was clean. URA documents were lodged while the aircraft was still inbound.”
Procurement, Kampala healthcare“One invoice, one coordinator, Mombasa to Malaba to the Kampala dock. That is rare in this market.”
