Import duty
KRA lists 2 Dongfeng Forthing variants, valued between KSh 3,869,869 and KSh 4,854,926 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 532,902 – KSh 505,052
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.
| Trim | Engine | CRSP | Duty at 8yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| FORTHING T5 EVO | 1500 · petrol | KSh 3,869,869 | KSh 532,902 |
| FORTHING XINGHAI S7 | Li-ion · electric | KSh 4,854,926 | KSh 505,052 |
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.
