Customs clearance for shipments to Kenya
Customs procedures in Kenya are administered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), through its Customs & Border Control function. For commercial cargo, the importer should arrange a licensed customs clearing agent and confirm the documents needed for the goods. Start with KRA’s import procedures before dispatch.
Essential Documentation
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Bill of lading or airway bill
Certificate of origin
Import/export licenses
Specific Permits or Licenses (if applicable)
Allwayforward Tips
Ask the clearing agent to check the tariff classification, declared value, origin and applicable permits or conformity requirements. Confirm KRA’s current Certificate of Origin requirements and exceptions before shipping. Keep the commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents consistent. Taxes, inspections and release depend on the consignment; clearance timing is not guaranteed.
