Calculate import cost
  • 8-year rule. In 2026, only cars first registered in 2019 or later can be imported.
  • Right-hand drive only. Left-hand drive cars cannot be registered for normal use.
  • Pre-shipment inspection. The car must pass inspection before export and get a KEBS roadworthiness certificate.
  • Taxes add up. Import duty, excise, VAT, IDF and RDL are charged on KRA's value of the car, not just your invoice.
