Specialized Import Guides: Navigating Duty Exemptions

The Kenyan government offers specific tax incentives and duty exemptions for various categories of importers. At Cars Request Africa, we are experts in navigating these complex regulations to ensure you maximize your benefits.

1. Expatriates and Diplomats

If you are moving to Kenya for a diplomatic mission or a long-term contract (minimum 2 years), you are entitled to duty-free importation of one motor vehicle.

  • Eligibility: Must be a “First Arrival” or have diplomatic status.

  • Condition: The vehicle must be imported within 90 days of your arrival (extendable to 360 days with KRA approval).

  • The Benefit: Significant savings on Import Duty, Excise Duty, and VAT.

2. Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)

We believe mobility is a right. The Disability Duty Exemption (DDE) program allows registered PWDs to import specially modified or suitable personal vehicles duty-free.

  • The Process: You must be registered with the NCPWD and obtain a medical report.

  • Constraint: The vehicle generally cannot be sold for at least 3 years after importation.

  • Our Role: We help you source vehicles already equipped with accessibility features or those that are easily modifiable, like the Toyota Noah or Honda Freed.

3. Returning Citizens

Kenyans who have lived abroad for at least two years are welcomed back with the privilege of bringing one personal vehicle duty-free.

  • Key Requirements: You must have owned and used the vehicle for at least 12 months outside Kenya.

  • Age Limit: The vehicle must be less than 8 years old from the year of manufacture.

  • Timeline: It must arrive in Kenya within 90 days of your return.
