Import duty
KRA lists 1 Kia Optima variants, valued between KSh 5,117,447 and KSh 7,103,824 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 733,827 – KSh 1,018,668
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPTIMA | 2400 · petrol | KSh 5,117,447 | KSh 733,827 |
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.
