Requirements for Importing your Vehicle

The Kenya Revenue Authority, or KRA, can help with any questions or concerns you may have regarding transporting. You will need to pay duties as well as prepare your vehicle for transport. In order to determine the amount that you will need to pay, you can check with the Kenya Bureau of Standards. A vehicle over eight years of age cannot be transport.

The size of your engine will determine the amount you will pay. So this means that the larger the engine, the more it will cost you to transport it. Excise duty will need to be determined in the quote as well. If the vehicle is less than three years old, it can be transported but you will pay Ksh, 150,000. If a vehicle is more than three years old, you can expect to pay Ksh 200,000. You will also need to pay the Value Added Tax, or VAT. Taxes are set at 16%. The import Declaration Fee will cost 25% of the CIF value.

Shipping Methods to Nairobi

You can choose from two different shipping methods to choose from when shipping to Kenya. Roll On/ Roll Off shipping which involves your vehicle being rolled on and rolled off of the ship for transport. Your vehicle will need to be completely cleaned out prior to shipping. You will need to leave only the floor mats, a car jack, and the spare tire in your vehicle after it is cleaned out.

Container shipping is another option. While its more expensive, this method of shipping offers several benefits including being able to seal up your vehicle inside of a container to give it the best protection while at sea. You can choose from a 20 foot or 40 foot container.
