Importing a car into Kenya requires extensive documentation. We handle all the necessary paperwork to ensure compliance with Kenyan customs laws, including:

  • Import Declaration Form (IDF) – A mandatory requirement for all imported vehicles.
  • Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate – Ensures the vehicle meets KEBS and NTSA standards.
  • Bill of Lading – Proof of shipment and ownership.
  • Clearing Agent Authorization – Allows us to handle your car clearance on your behalf.

Every imported vehicle is subject to taxes and duties, which vary depending on the car’s age, engine capacity, and customs value. As expert car importers, we calculate and process these payments for you, ensuring full compliance with Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regulations. The taxes and duties include:

  • Import Duty – 25% of the customs value.
  • Excise Duty – Based on engine capacity and manufacture year.
  • VAT (Value Added Tax) – 16% of the total customs value.
  • Railway Development Levy (RDL) – 1.5% of the customs value.
  • Import Declaration Fee (IDF) – 2% of the customs value.

Most imported vehicles arrive at the Port of Mombasa, where customs clearance can be a complex process. As professional car importers, we speed up the process by:

  • Coordinating with port authorities for smooth offloading.
  • Ensuring all taxes and duties are paid.
  • Facilitating KEBS and NTSA inspections.
  • Completing all final clearance procedures.

After car importation and clearance, we offer convenient delivery options to your preferred location anywhere in Kenya. Our transport solutions include:

  • SGR Rail Transport – Affordable and fast delivery from Mombasa to Nairobi.
  • Car Carrier Services – Secure Road transport for multiple vehicles.
