Import duty

VOLVO XC90 B5 AWD MOMENTUM

KRA values this model at KSh 12,559,993 new, and computes duty from that figure — not from what you actually paid for it.

Duty on an 8-year-old XC90 B5 AWD MOMENTUM

Direct import

KSh 1,801,068

65% depreciation

Already registered in Kenya

KSh 835,536

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.
