About Importing

Import means to bring or cause to be brought into the Partner States from a foreign country. Importation of any commodity into the country will require that you enlist the services of an accredited customs clearing agent. The clearing agent is mandated to process the importation documents on the ICMS system and assist in clearing goods on your behalf.

All imports procured by Kenyan-based importers must be insured with companies licensed to conduct business in Kenya. Importation of animals, plants, and seeds are subject to quarantine regulations.
