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.

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.
