Import duty
KRA lists 12 Nissan Serena variants, valued between KSh 4,331,517 and KSh 8,045,220 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 621,127 – KSh 1,107,870
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.
