Import duty
KRA lists 9 BMW I3 variants, valued between KSh 3,015,182 and KSh 18,198,013 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 432,369 – KSh 2,793,685
Depending on trim, for a direct import. A unit already registered in Kenya pays less — it depreciates faster on KRA’s schedule and owes neither the Railway Development Levy nor the Import Declaration Fee.

Kenya does not permit importing vehicles over eight years old. Figures cover duty and taxes only — port charges, SGR, verification and NTSA registration are additional. KRA describes its own template as a guideline subject to verification.
