Import duty
KRA lists 2 Hino Profia variants, valued between KSh 21,973,786 and KSh 89,275,149 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 3,373,326 – KSh 13,705,156
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROFIA BASEGRADE | 8860 · diesel | KSh 21,973,786 | KSh 3,373,326 |
| PROFIA | 8600 · diesel | KSh 34,444,042 | KSh 5,287,709 |
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.
