KRA lists 7 Scania R variants, valued between KSh 6,796,897 and KSh 14,953,173 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.

Duty on an 8-year-old Scania R

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.
