The core refrigerant stock for a Kenyan AC and refrigeration dealer in 2026: R22 in 13.6kg cylinders (still the highest-volume grade due to Kenya’s large pre-2015 AC installed base), R410a in 11.3kg cylinders (growing fast — all post-2015 residential split AC), R600a in 420g cans by the case (very high volume from refrigerator repair), R134a in 13.6kg cylinders (automotive AC and commercial refrigeration), and R32 in 10kg cylinders in smaller quantities for the growing new-generation Daikin, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi segment. These five grades cover the vast majority of Kenya’s refrigerant service demand from a single import order.

Yes — Al Waleed regularly ships mixed-grade refrigerant orders to Kenya in a single sea freight consignment to Mombasa Port. A typical consolidated Kenya order might include WESTRON® R22 (13.6kg), WESTRON® R410a (11.3kg), MAXRON® R600a (420g cans), WESTRON® R134a (13.6kg), and WESTRON® R32 (10kg) — all declared correctly on a single IMDG-compliant dangerous goods manifest and single commercial invoice. Consolidating all refrigerant grades with compressors and AC spare parts in one shipment is more cost-effective per cylinder than making separate orders and significantly reduces KRA customs clearance complexity at Mombasa.

Al Waleed provides on every Kenya refrigerant shipment: commercial invoice (specifying refrigerant grade, brand, cylinder size, quantity, and USD value), packing list (gross and net weights per line), certificate of origin (UAE — Dubai Chamber of Commerce stamped), bill of lading, and IMDG dangerous goods declaration (UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group for each grade). These are the standard documents required by KRA customs agents for clearance at Mombasa Port. Incorrect or incomplete dangerous goods documentation is the most common cause of refrigerant shipment delays at East African ports — Al Waleed prepares it correctly on every Kenya order as standard practice.
