Import duty
KRA lists 2 Faw Ca1081 variants, valued between KSh 2,990,000 and KSh 7,300,603 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 428,758 – KSh 1,046,886
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA1081 FAW FIGHTER CHASSIS ONLY | · diesel | KSh 2,990,000 | KSh 428,758 |
| CA1081 | · diesel | KSh 7,300,603 | KSh 1,046,886 |
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.
