Import duty
KRA lists 2 Mazda Carol variants, valued between KSh 2,066,603 and KSh 2,217,710 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 284,582 – KSh 305,391
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAROL GS | 658 · gasoline | KSh 2,066,603 | KSh 284,582 |
| CAROL HYBRID GS | 657 · hybrid | KSh 2,217,710 | KSh 305,391 |
KRA’s schedule records every one of these as petrol in its fuel column, including the hybrids. The hybrid and electric labels above are read from the trim name instead. Engine capacity and CRSP are KRA’s own figures and are unchanged.
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.
