Import duty
KRA lists 4 Hyundai Inster variants, valued between KSh 5,702,785 and KSh 6,580,136 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 593,254 – KSh 684,524
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.

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.
