Import duty
KRA lists 4 Subaru Forster variants, valued between KSh 4,715,764 and KSh 5,763,712 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 676,227 – KSh 826,500
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| FORSTER X-BREAK | 2498 · gasoline | KSh 4,715,764 | KSh 676,227 |
| FORSTER ADVANCE | 1995 · gasoline | KSh 5,012,683 | KSh 718,805 |
| FORSTER SPORT | 1795 · gasoline | KSh 5,222,272 | KSh 748,859 |
| FORSTER URBAN SELECTION | 1995 · gasoline | KSh 5,763,712 | KSh 826,500 |
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.
