Title | What are the procedure and requirements for importation into Kenya and clearance through Customs |
---|---|
Description | To import any commodity into Kenya, an importer will have to enlist the services of a clearing agent who will process the import documentation through Kenya Customs electronically on the Simba 2005 system and clear the goods on behalf of the importers. An import declaration fee (IDF) of 2% of the Customs Value is payable. Customs will assess duty payable depending on the value of the goods and the duty rate applicable. The East African Community Common External Tariff prescribing the duty rates of imported items is available at the KRA website. |
