Import duty

SHACMAN X3000 TRACTOR HEAD 6X4 420 H

KRA values this model at KSh 9,456,552 new, and computes duty from that figure — not from what you actually paid for it.

KRA’s schedule does not list a fuel type for this model, so the excise band is uncertain — a diesel over 2500cc would attract 35% excise rather than the 35% used here. Confirm with KRA before committing.

Duty on an 8-year-old X3000 TRACTOR HEAD 6X4 420 H

Direct import

KSh 1,451,731

65% depreciation

Already registered in Kenya

KSh 677,751

83% depreciation, no RDL or IDF

A vehicle already registered in Kenya depreciates faster on KRA’s schedule and pays neither the Railway Development Levy nor the Import Declaration Fee. Most online calculators miss this.

Kenya does not permit importing vehicles more than eight years old, which is why the table stops there. These figures cover duty and taxes only — port charges, SGR, verification, Interpol clearance and NTSA registration are additional. KRA describes its own template as a guideline subject to verification, so confirm with a clearing agent before committing funds.
