Top 10 Products to Import and Resell During Back-to-School Season in Kenya

The back-to-school season in Kenya is more than just new uniforms and books—it's a massive business opportunity for resellers. Parents are looking for affordable, quality supplies, and many are shopping online or through WhatsApp resellers for convenience and better pricing.

At Blessmarked Online Shop, the digital storefront of BIC Agency, we help Kenyan resellers import fast-moving school-related items from China at low Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs), with full landed pricing to Nairobi. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your stock, the following 10 products are in high demand during school terms—and perfect for profitable resale.

1. Kids’ School Bags

Bright, character-themed school bags are always top sellers. Whether it’s cartoon-themed for younger kids or simple, functional backpacks for high schoolers, this is a must-have product. Landed costs start from KSh 800–1,200, with resale values of KSh 1,500–2,500.

2. Water Bottles and Lunch Boxes

Parents are choosing BPA-free, well-designed lunch kits that are easy to clean and durable. Sets with matching bottles and food containers sell better. They’re also light, so perfect for air shipping in small quantities.

3. Educational Tablets and Learning Toys

For pre-primary and early grade learners, educational tablets with pre-installed learning apps are popular. These are especially good for tech-savvy parents looking for ways to support at-home learning.

4. Stationery Sets and Pencil Cases

You can import full stationery kits that include pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, rulers, and pencil cases. These make attractive packages to sell in bulk to parents or schools.

5. Drawing Books and Art Supplies

With CBC (Competency-Based Curriculum), creativity is part of everyday learning. Items like sketch books, crayons, colored pencils, and paint sets have become essentials in every class.

6. Kids’ Watches and Alarm Clocks

As schools emphasize responsibility, items like simple digital watches or wake-up alarms are trending. These are affordable, lightweight, and easy to move even in small-scale reselling.

7. Character Raincoats and Umbrellas

During rainy seasons, colourful rainwear for children becomes a fast-seller. Cartoon-branded raincoats and foldable umbrellas are practical, attractive, and easy to bundle with other school items.

8. Shoes and Socks Bundles

Importing kids’ sneakers or canvas shoes in small sizes is possible with low MOQs. Pairing shoes with socks in a bundle increases average order value and provides great value to parents.

9. Mini Whiteboards and Learning Charts

For both classroom and home use, visual learning tools are growing in popularity. Import items like laminated charts, mini whiteboards, and magnetic alphabets to target CBC learners.

10. School Organizer Boxes and Lockable Storage

As students carry more books, having lockable boxes or small lockers is a trend, especially in boarding school setups. These items can be shipped by sea if bulky or by air in small quantities.
