Import duty

BMW X5 import duty

KRA lists 24 BMW X5 variants, valued between KSh 12,196,745 and KSh 28,622,667 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.

Duty on an 8-year-old BMW X5

KSh 1,748,979 – KSh 4,104,410

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.
