Import duty
KRA lists 3 Byd Dolphin variants, valued between KSh 9,766,905 and KSh 10,743,922 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 1,016,039 – KSh 1,117,677
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.

| DOLPHIN 44.9 ACTIVE | 44.9 kWh · electric | KSh 9,766,905 | KSh 1,016,039 |
| DOLPHIN 60.4 KWH | 60.5 kWh · electric | KSh 10,743,922 | KSh 1,117,677 |

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.
