Kenyan Customs

KRA customs duty & import rules

Kenya has one of the higher de minimis values in Africa: parcels valued under KES 50,000 (about ₹35,000) typically clear with no duty when properly declared as personal use — generous for gifts, sweets, ayurvedic and small B2B samples. Above that the KRA (Kenya Revenue Authority) applies 16% VAT plus 2% Railway Development Levy (RDL) and 2.5% Import Declaration Fee (IDF) on CIF value, plus the relevant import duty (0–35% by HS code).

Clearance happens at JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi) for air parcels, with overflow at Moi International (Mombasa). Standard clearance is 2–4 business days for personal-use parcels with proper paperwork, longer for commercial shipments needing IDF and PVoC (Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity) for regulated goods.

We prepare every consignment with a clean commercial invoice, KYC, recipient KRA PIN (for B2B) or ID number, and contact details so KRA clears it without escalation. Personal-use parcels (sweets, saris, ayurvedic, gifts) almost never get held beyond 4 days when paperwork is correct.

Duty-free limit: KES 50,000 (~₹35,000) per parcel — high de minimis
VAT: 16% on CIF + RDL 2% + IDF 2.5% above de minimis
Documentation: KYC + commercial invoice + recipient ID/KRA PIN + phone
Average clearance: 2–4 business days at JKIA
Major ports of entry: JKIA Nairobi (NBO), Moi International Mombasa (MBA)
